What I Learned About Launching a Practice

Hospital ownership seems out of reach for many veterinarians, but my experience can help bring a budding entrepreneur’s vision into focus.

As client expectations change, the small practice of the future must chart a new course.

Starting a private practice is within reach for those with a clear vision and solid plan.

Selling a veterinary practice is a drawn-out process best done with a team of advisers.

Managing and mitigating risks help veterinary practices pay less for workers’ comp and business liability policies.

When negotiating a sales contract, practice owners must consider what could happen when a buyer takes over.

For starters, offer employee benefits that team members value and purchase equipment they’ll use frequently.

Remember to mind the books, stand up for your team and live the values you espouse.

As hospital prices cool and consolidators get cold feet, owners can protect themselves by negotiating a breakup fee.

The practice’s founder calls the move a “groundbreaking solution … for the industry and beyond.”
