Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time to sell my veterinary practice?
The ideal time is when your financials are strong, you have a steady flow of clients, and you’re emotionally ready to transition. Many owners begin preparing 12–24 months in advance.
How are veterinary practices valued?
Buyers typically look at EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), client retention, service mix, and growth potential. Practices with strong management and minimal owner dependence often command higher multiples.
Will my staff and clients be taken care of after the sale?
We work with buyers who value continuity of care and staff retention. Protecting your team and your client relationships is always a priority during negotiations.
Do corporate consolidators pay more than private buyers?
Not always—it depends on your location, size, and the type of practice. We evaluate all offers to ensure you get both the right price and the right terms.
How long does it take to sell a veterinary practice?
The average sale can take 6–12 months, depending on your readiness, buyer interest, and deal complexity.
Do I need to tell my clients I’m selling?
Most owners wait until a deal is finalized to inform clients. We guide you on timing and communication to preserve trust and prevent disruption.
Can I sell part of my veterinary practice instead of the whole business?
Yes. Many buyers are open to partial acquisitions, allowing you to retain equity while taking some chips off the table. This can provide immediate liquidity while still benefiting from future growth.
