Grab our practical, question‑based checklist for veterinary owners considering a DIY sale
This interactive PDF checklist is designed to help you pressure‑test your readiness, organize information, and identify gaps before you go to market.
Be prepared when buyers start asking about revenue, EBITDA, quality of earnings, adjustments, and more.
Questions that help buyers assess how the business runs day-to-day and how dependent it is on you as the owner.
Buyers will want to confirm the business is properly formed, compliant, and look for any hidden legal risks.
Buyers need to know staff salaries, DVM statuses, employee benefits, and who will be critical to the business post-sale.
Buyers want to know how your market may influence future revenue durability, customer retention, and growth opportunities.
Being clear about motivations, timeline, and expectations will help keep the process moving once conversations with potential buyers begin.
A DIY sale may work well for your practice, but many owners find value in professional support. We handle the complexity of the sale process - from due diligence and buyer matching to negotiating terms and maximizing your practice's value - so you can focus on what matters most during this transition.
