Industry-Specific Challenges We Handle
The deal-breakers we've seen — and how we address each one.
Solo practices sell at 5x–6x; practices with 2+ vets at 7x–10x. The single biggest value driver is hiring an associate vet 12–18 months before listing.
PE buyers require associates sign 3–5 year retention. Plan equity rollover and retention bonuses as part of negotiation.
Modern equipment (digital X-ray, dental units, IDEXX blood work) supports premium multiples. Outdated equipment depresses.
