Investor Questions (Joji John)
1. Are you trained in first aid for pets, and do you have business insurance?
Answer: No, first aid yet, and no business insurance as well, but I would be willing to take it because this business has potential in the market. This business is my side hustle for now, but as per the law, I am mandated to get the insurance and license for any business.
2. What do you think is lacking in your business that could be eliminated with investment?
Answer: I believe the lack in my pet business is a Pet store that offers a variety of dog and cat foods and grooming services, because as of now, I only offer a service, not a product.
3. How many active clients do you expect to serve on average per week or month?
Answer: As of the moment, I have 6 existing and active clients. I expected 2 to 3 clients per month every summer, because some of my clients want to enjoy outdoor activities like being away from home either for a week or for a month.

Investor Question (Cleofe)
1. What is the current customer base size, and what strategies are in place to grow it?
Answer: For now, I have 6 existing clients, and they have been my regular clients since day 1 until now. I think the first strategy is to build trust and a good relationship with my clients to create branding for my business in Terrace. secondly, it is to partner with local businesses in town, like a pet store that offers grooming and dog training services, for supplies, and expanding the services of my business.
2. Targeted areas for pet care services? Are there any direct competitors, and how do their services compare?
Answer: I have plenty of competitors in town, there are well-established companies, and there are independent ones like me. Our difference is that my service is cheaper than theirs, being transparent to all the clients is a huge impact as well, I don’t want to compete with them, and in fact, I just started this business. I like being stress-free in this line of business, I just want to turn my hobbies into a business where I can make money at the same time I am hanging out with the pets.
