As a pet groomer, you’re brilliant at looking after dogs. But are you looking after your own finances just as well?

In this episode, Bill sits down with Romany Youell – also known as The Finance Woman – to talk about something many grooming business owners avoid… money.

If you’re self-employed or running a salon, your income depends on you. So what would happen if you couldn’t work? Would your business survive? Would you?

Romany shares clear, practical advice on:

1. Why financial literacy matters for pet professionals
2. What income protection actually is (and why most groomers misunderstand it)
3. The difference between being busy and being financially secure
4. Why pensions and investments shouldn’t be “something to sort later”
5. The types of insurance business owners should genuinely consider

One of the biggest takeaways? Many groomers prioritise their clients, staff and salon expenses – but forget to protect themselves.

This episode isn’t about complicated financial jargon. It’s about helping you feel more confident, more informed and more in control of your future.

If you work for yourself, this conversation could genuinely change how you think about money in your grooming business.
