Selling a Veterinary Clinic business
Published · Reviewed by The Diligence Standard Team · Updated
Owners should prepare doctor-level production, client retention, staff stability, inventory, equipment and a transition plan that protects client continuity.
How the business works
Veterinarian production, appointment capacity, client retention, pharmacy/lab mix, staffing and facility/equipment determine value.
Issues to resolve
- Owner production is mixed with enterprise earnings
- Associate retention is uncertain
- Inventory is not cleanly counted
- Equipment replacement is deferred
- Client data does not support active relationships
Evidence to request and reconcile
- Doctor-level production
- Client/visit history
- Associate and staff payroll
- Inventory/pharmacy records
- Equipment schedule
- Lease/facility records
Decision questions
- What earnings remain after replacing the selling veterinarian?
- Can associates be retained?
- How many clients are active and recurring?
- What equipment CapEx is coming?
- Is appointment capacity constrained by doctors, rooms or staffing?
