Armed with a veterinarian medicine degree from the Philippines, Jaypee Culhi transitioned into business by acquiring a pet grooming franchise in Regional Victoria in September 2025.


KEY POINTS
  • The local pet care market in Australia is robust; around 73% of households owned a pet as of late 2025, according to Statista.
  • Culhi secured the 'Jim's Dog Wash & Grooming franchise with a minimal investment , paying a royalty fee of $5,300 AUD, thanks to a significant seasonal discount of 73.5%.
  • According to Culhi, the business model offers substantial footprint expansion, noting a strategic advantage: the royalty fee remains flat regardless of business growth or the number of locations acquired.
