Practice Acquisition
The end-to-end resource set for veterinarians buying an existing practice — financing instruments, local market context, lender shortlists, and the terminology you will see in every term sheet.
Practice acquisition is the single largest financing event in most veterinarians' careers — and the one most associate vets spend the longest stretch of their career thinking about before pulling the trigger. The decisions stack: which practice to buy, how to value it, how to structure the financing, which lender to work with, how to negotiate the seller's transition role, and how to manage the first 18 months of new ownership while the existing client base and staff get used to a new owner.
This topic hub aggregates everything on the site that touches practice acquisition — pillar guides, local market context, glossary terms, and lender comparisons. The pages span the full lifecycle, from "should I buy or start de novo" through "which SBA lender writes the cleanest paper for my deal structure" through "how do I refinance once the practice is performing." New pages get added as the topic deepens.
If you are early in the process, start with the pillar guide for the full menu of financing instruments. If you are evaluating a specific deal, the local market pages and lender comparisons help calibrate what is normal for your geography and deal size.
