Cash flow here is seller's discretionary earnings (SDE): the year's profit plus one owner's pay, interest, depreciation and one-off costs, before any loan payments. Amounts are in Canadian dollars.
Revenue and cash flow by fiscal year. Solid years were matched to filed tax returns by a NextOwner analyst on Aug 10, 2026. Outlined years are as the owner entered them.
Revenue grew 13.4% and cash flow grew 19.7% from fiscal year 2023 to fiscal year 2025.
The same years as the chart. Cash flow is net income plus the lines marked plus. A dash means the owner did not give that line.

Cash flow covers the loan payments with little to spare
After the owner's salary, a year of cash flow pays a year of loan payments on these terms, but leaves less than the 1.25 times cushion lenders commonly look for.

In the owner's words.
The business offers dog daycare, overnight boarding and grooming from a purpose-built 7,800 square foot facility on two acres at the south edge of London. The sale includes the land and building. Daycare runs on weekdays for about 70 dogs, most on monthly packages, and boarding fills up during holidays and summer weekends.
The building has heated floors, separate quiet rooms for older and anxious dogs, a grooming room and four fenced outdoor yards. A manager and five full-time attendants run the day, with part-time staff covering evenings and weekends. Someone is on site overnight whenever dogs are boarding.
The owner opened the business in 2010 and built the current facility in 2016.
My husband and I are moving to the east coast to be near our grandchildren.
Grooming is booked only three days a week. Training classes have been run on weekends in the past and could return. There is room on the land to add more kennel space.
Eight weeks of handover, including the booking system, staff routines and veterinary contacts.
An animal-care operator or investor who will keep the manager and the safety routines in place.
