That mobile van lease? It's probably got a clause that'll bankrupt you if a dog gets hurt.
Most groomers miss the indemnification language until a client sues. We find it in 90 seconds.
You signed the lease because the van was perfect. Now you're on the hook for every scratch and bite.
The leasing agent handed you a 40-page document and said 'it's standard.' You initialed the last page at 11pm. Buried in paragraph 14.B is language that makes you financially responsible for ANY animal injury, even if it's a pre-existing condition or the owner's fault.
- The indemnification clause transfers ALL risk to you, the small business owner
- Your personal assets (car, savings) are now tied to a dog's $8,000 ACL surgery
- Your insurance might not cover it if the lease says you're 'solely liable'
- You can't afford to negotiate because you need the van to eat
We find the clauses that could end your business before they do.

What other mobile groomers are saying
"I was about to sign a lease that said I was liable for 'all animal-related incidents.' My insurance guy told me that was insane. Legal Shell AI found it in 30 seconds. I got the clause removed."
"I've been doing this for 15 years and I still get nervous reading leases. This app just tells me the bad parts. It's like having a grumpy lawyer in my pocket who actually wants to help."
"My van lease had a clause that made me responsible if a dog had a heart attack during grooming. That's not my fault! The app flagged it and I told the leasing company 'change this or I walk.' They changed it."
