It's our way of saying thanks for trusting us to help you make one of the most important financial decisions of your career in veterinary medicine.

How to Buy a Veterinary Practice
Deciding to buy a veterinary practice may be one of the best investment decisions you will make in your lifetime. According to a recent American Pet Products Association survey, approximately two out of three American households have at least one pet. That’s 85 million families who need the services of a vet clinic, animal hospital, or specialty veterinary practice. In addition, there are also millions of farmers in rural areas who need equestrian and large animal veterinarian services.
However, buying a veterinary practice requires due diligence to ensure the clinic or hospital you plan to buy will meet your income, investment, and career objectives. Here’s our convenient step-by-step guide to help future clients better understand the steps involved in purchasing a veterinary practice.
Step 1: Determine the Type and Size of Practice You Want to Buy
Think of this as a mini business plan. Do you wish to own a small vet clinic, a large animal hospital, or a more specialized veterinary practice? What are your practice revenue and income goals? Once you’ve answered those questions, identify the geographic market you are targeting. Finally, consider your financial situation. Do you have sufficient funds for the purchase, or will you need practice financing?
Step 2: Meet with a Veterinary Practice Broker
Our veterinary practice brokers have all the tools and resources to help you find, select, and purchase the veterinary practice that meets your goals and objectives. At Practice Sales Advisors, our first step is to understand your needs and requirements. Once we have a focused understanding of your needs, we perform the market research analysis, prepare practice appraisals and valuations, and research practice listings and other vet practices for sale that fit your specific criteria.
Step 3: Practice Selection
Once your dedicated practice broker has prepared a package listing practices that meet your criteria, you’re ready to begin the selection process. The package will contain all the information you need to make an informed business decision. This includes a market analysis, financials, equipment, building ownership or lease, equipment, staff size, and more.
Your broker will arrange site visits allowing you to tour the facility you select as well as meeting the doctors and staff who will be under your leadership. Once you have made your final decision, your broker will prepare the necessary paperwork to make an offer to purchase the vet practice.
Step 4: Arrange Financing
One of the benefits of working with Practice Sales Advisors is our established relationships with many leading veterinarian industry lenders. We have successfully arranged practice financing for our clients, even those fresh out of veterinary school or without a down payment.
Step 5: Closing
Once your offer is accepted and financing has been approved, you will then meet with your dedicated practice broker to sign the closing package and get the keys to your very own veterinary practice. Congratulations!
Step 6: Post-Purchase Support
At Practice Sales Advisors, we take a keen interest in our clients’ success. The closing is not the end of the process but the beginning of a life-long relationship. Your dedicated practice broker will continue to be a valuable resource as you embark on your journey of practice ownership. We also provide all our clients with complementary annual practice valuations, so you will always know the value your hard work is generating.
