Interested In Selling Your Practice?

• Vendors find us an attractive option because we don’t change their practice, name, clinical care and culture.
• We also look after their team - maintaining and protecting their entitlements, wages and conditions.
• In addition, we offer a quick and efficient process with completion and transfer of funds in as little as six to eight weeks.
• As a stock market listed company, we invest not only for today but also for the future, which means you can be assured that our investment decisions are for the long term. Being publicly listed on the London stock exchange also means that we are held accountable to public scrutiny and operate with far greater transparency than other large, privately held (PE backed) groups.

We are always looking for good quality practices to join our network. We will look at  any veterinary practice, although we prefer ones that have some or all of the following characteristics:

• Dedicated companion animal, equine, farm or referral centres.
• Practices located in populous areas with good parking on site.
• Preferably three or four vet minimum surgeries, although smaller practices will be considered where they are close to another CVS practice.
• Where the present owners are prepared to continue working in the practice, at least for a transition period.
• Laboratories or other service providers to the profession may also be of interest.

There is no magic formula for this. We look at a number of factors including:

• Is the business well established with a strong client base showing continued growth?
• Are the buildings of good quality, with adequate parking, and capable of supporting further expansion?
• Is the clinical equipment appropriate and in good order?
• Is the practice accredited under the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme?
• Has the practice continuously grown its clinical expertise and services, profitably?
• Most importantly, does the practice have loyal staff who have the appropriate skills and enthusiasm?

Even if your business does not meet all these criteria, please do get in touch - our valuation may still be competitive even allowing for any investment if needed.
