How to Value Your Veterinary Practice
Veterinary practices typically achieve 5x–8x EBITDA. Key drivers include client list size, clinical staff retention, revenue mix (consult fees, diagnostic income, surgical, pharmacy), premises quality and whether the practice has a referral income stream.

Key Value Drivers
- Large, active client list with regular wellness plan subscribers
- Qualified, retained clinical team (vets and nurses)
- In-house laboratory and diagnostic imaging capability
- Strong pharmacy and prescription income
- Modern, well-equipped premises with separate surgical facilities
- Referral relationships or specialist consultancy income
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not disclosing RCVS inspection history or any practice standards concerns

- Not confirming all clinical staff are RCVS registered
- Failing to address key-vet dependency where one vet generates the majority of revenue
- Not having wellness or health plan agreements documented
Who Buys This Type of Business?
Veterinary buyers include individual vets becoming practice owners, existing practice owners adding a second site, corporate vet groups (CVS, IVC Evidensia, VetPartners), and private equity-backed consolidators. Corporate groups are the most active buyers and are prepared to pay the highest prices for quality independent practices.
UK Market Demand
Veterinary consolidation by corporate groups is one of the most active M&A sectors in the UK. Independent practices are in extraordinary demand. Pet ownership remains high and veterinary revenues have grown strongly. Quality independent practices routinely receive multiple competitive offers from corporate buyers.
Common Questions
Can a corporate group buy my veterinary practice?
Yes — CVS, IVC Evidensia, VetPartners, Medivet and other consolidators are actively acquiring independent practices across the UK. They move quickly and can complete transactions within 3–6 months. We have direct relationships with acquirers in this sector.
How is a veterinary practice valued?
Vet practices are valued at 5x–8x EBITDA. Revenue mix (consult, pharmacy, diagnostic, surgical), client list size, team stability and premises quality are the main value drivers. Growing practices with modern equipment attract the highest multiples.
What is a wellness plan and how does it affect sale value?
Wellness plans (monthly subscription preventive care packages) provide predictable recurring revenue. A large wellness plan subscriber base significantly increases the practice valuation by de-risking buyer income forecasts.
Do I need to stay on as a vet after selling?
Most buyers require a 12–24 month clinical retention period to maintain continuity of care. Corporate buyers will often offer the selling vet an employment contract. The handover period and any ongoing role should be negotiated as part of the sale agreement.
How long does it take to sell a veterinary practice?
Typically 6–12 months. Corporate buyers can move faster. The main complexity is the RCVS change of ownership notification, employment contracts, and premises arrangements. Having your accounts, client data and staff information ready in advance significantly speeds up due diligence.
What is the success fee?
Our success fee is only payable when contracts exchange and your sale successfully completes. There are no upfront fees, no listing fees and no monthly charges. Contact us for our current fee structure.
