Your Step-by-Step Guide to Selling a Veterinary Practice
1
Discovery Call
We start with a confidential conversation to get to know you, your practice, and your goals. Whether you’re just beginning to explore how to sell a veterinary practice or ready to move forward, we’ll walk you through the process, answer your questions, and outline what to expect.
Following our call, you’ll receive a complete checklist of the documents we’ll need to begin—always handled confidentially.
2
Practice Valuation
Our valuation team will review your practice’s financials, operations, and market position to deliver a comprehensive veterinary practice valuation. This helps us determine a competitive list price and position your practice effectively in the market. The process is handled entirely in-house and is both thorough and efficient, typically taking 3–5 weeks to complete when all required documents and information are provided promptly.
There is no charge for the valuation when you choose to list your practice with us.
3
Listing Agreement
We present a clear pricing strategy, timeline, and next steps tailored to your goals. Our commission structure typically ranges from 6% to 15%, depending on several factors, including location and real estate, revenue, and DVM structure. Once you’re ready, we finalize the agreement and introduce your dedicated Account Manager, who will be your personal guide throughout the process.
4
Marketing Materials
We create a custom marketing package and public listing designed to highlight your practice’s strengths, financial performance, and growth potential. Each package is professionally designed and thoughtfully presented—combining clear, detailed information with a polished, high-quality look that reflects the value of your practice.
Nothing is shared until you’ve reviewed and approved every detail, ensuring accuracy and complete confidentiality.
5
National Campaign
We promote your listing through a targeted national campaign that leverages our network of buyers, digital marketing strategies, and SEO to maximize visibility. Practice details are shared only with qualified buyers who have executed a signed NDA, thereby protecting your business throughout the process.
On average, our listings remain on the market for approximately 9 months, though timing can vary depending on the practice, location, and overall market conditions.
6
Buyer Identification
We connect you with serious, qualified buyers—including independent veterinarians and corporate groups—and handle all communications, scheduling, and screening. We carefully vet each buyer to ensure they are financially capable and aligned with your goals, so you’re only engaging with the right opportunities. Our goal is to identify the right fit for your practice, not just any buyer, while protecting your time and maintaining confidentiality throughout the process.
7
Financing Support
When needed, we assist buyers in getting pre-qualified through our preferred veterinary lenders who understand the unique aspects of practice ownership and financing. By helping streamline financing early in the process, we remove potential obstacles, improve buyer readiness, and keep your transaction moving forward efficiently.
8
Deal Negotiation
We present and compare offers, negotiate terms, and represent your best interests at every stage. From price to structure, we work to secure the strongest outcome for you, your team, and your legacy.
We can also recommend trusted, veterinary-specific attorneys when needed to ensure contracts are properly structured and the transaction proceeds smoothly.
9
Closing
Our experienced closing team coordinates all documents, deadlines, and stakeholders to ensure a smooth, on-time closing. This is where we stay especially hands-on, guiding you through each step, helping navigate communication between all parties, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
Rather than stepping back and leaving everything to attorneys, we remain actively involved through the final stages so your transition is seamless and fully supported. The closing process typically takes 90–120 days, depending on deal structure, financing, and due diligence requirements.

If you’re still exploring your options, starting with a valuation is a smart first step. Understanding what your veterinary practice is worth can give you clarity on timing, strategy, and what to expect—without any pressure to move forward.
Many of the strongest outcomes come from planning ahead. Improving financial performance and preparing your practice 3–4 years before selling can significantly impact value and buyer interest. You shouldn’t wait until you’re ready to retire to start the conversation.
