Nevada Market Context

Common Challenges for Pet Boarding Owners
Facility-intensive business requires significant ongoing capital investment
Owner relationships with regular clients drive repeat bookings
Partnership structures among co-founders require succession planning
Seasonal demand peaks (holidays, summer) create revenue concentration

Frequently Asked Questions
How do pet boarding facilities determine the right amount of key person coverage?
A practical approach is to calculate 12–18 months of gross revenue (the estimated operational disruption period), plus any outstanding facility debt. Coverage in this range provides a runway to recruit new management and stabilize operations.
Do boarding facilities need buy-sell agreements even if they are small operations?
If two or more people own the business, yes. A funded buy-sell agreement prevents the surviving owner from being forced into a co-ownership arrangement with the deceased owner's estate — which can be especially disruptive for hands-on, client-facing businesses.
Can a pet boarding business obtain life insurance on non-owner managers?
Yes. Businesses can obtain key person life insurance on employees who are critical to operations, not just on owners. The business must demonstrate an insurable interest — typically by showing the employee's revenue contribution or the cost of replacing their expertise.
