Selling a veterinary practice involves several key steps:

• Negotiations: We’ll guide you through negotiations to ensure you receive the best possible deal.

• Transition: We assist with the transition process to ensure a smooth handover to the new owner.

After the sale, we provide transition support to ensure a smooth handover. This may include introducing the new owner to clients, employees, and suppliers, as well as offering operational advice during the transition period. We aim to make this process as seamless as possible for both you and the buyer.

9. Do I need a broker to buy or sell a veterinary practice?
While it is possible to buy or sell a practice without a broker, using a specialized veterinary broker can save you time, reduce risk, and ensure you get the best possible price. A broker brings expertise in valuation, marketing, negotiation, and industry knowledge that helps streamline the process.
