Idea Description
We manufacture dog crates for both the hobbyist and the professional dog handler. These crates can be built to fit any size dog or to fit in the professional handles vehicle. They are build as banks of crates to fix any vehicle or a dog show unit that includes a grooming top and arm, to hold the dog while grooming, and a cart so that the unit can be rolled into a dog show building.

Questions I need advice on
- Q1.
- Expanding our business. We have put everything we have into this business to get it off the ground. We have been in business for over 6 years and we find that we are having a hard time spliting our time up between selling and manufacturing. Trying to find the capital to expand. Respond
Use resources, publications, associations and website. I would also recommend Amazon.com to sell your items. Focus on what you are good at, if selling is not your strength hire a commission based saleperson to promote and sell your product. Individual commission rates could vary for a Pet Shop owner or breeder that would share and recommend your product, rewarding that person with a percentage of your margin - selling 10 units a month a person could have an accerated commission rate - more they sell your product the more they make up to a specific percentage.
