Buy a Brabant zoo and live out your animal-loving dreams
By Victoria Séveno
Ever dreamed of having dozens of pets but know that you don’t realistically have the space or resources to care for them? This opportunity might be for you; a zoo in Brabant is currently looking for a new owner!
Looking for a career change? Why not buy a zoo!
On the hunt for your next big business venture and like the idea of running your own company? Well, if you happen to have 5 million euros lying around, you could invest it in an animal park that comes fully equipped with 150 different species and 2.000 inhabitants - most of which are parrots, parakeets, cranes, birds of prey and owls.
Located not too far from the city of Eindhoven, Zoo Veldhoven has suffered major financial losses as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, and the current owners are looking to slow down a little - but they’re in no real rush to sell. “If a good candidate came forward, that wouldn’t be bad. But that may well take another 10 to 15 years,” explained owner Richard Loomans.
