Buying a Veterinary Practice
Are you interested in buying a vet practice but have no idea what to do first?
LArry gets it!
Buying a practice is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make in your veterinary career – and it’s terrifying when you don’t know if you’re asking the right questions or making the right moves.
Here's how Larry approaches this with you:
Larry starts by listening to your specific situation. Are you looking at an existing practice? Considering a partnership? Thinking about starting fresh? What’s driving this decision now, and what are your biggest fears about the process?
Then Larry helps you see the bigger picture. Drawing from his experience as both a practicing veterinarian and business advisor, he’ll help you understand what you really need to know – not just the financial numbers, but the operational realities, the staff dynamics, the client relationships, and whether this practice aligns with your vision of veterinary medicine.
Most importantly, Larry helps you figure out what you don't know yet.
He’ll guide you through the questions you should be asking, the red flags to watch for, and the steps that need to happen in the right order.
You don’t need to navigate this alone. Larry will work with you to create a clear path forward, whether that means individual coaching through the buying process, bringing in additional expertise where needed, or helping you determine if practice ownership is actually the right move for you right now.
Because making an informed decision is always better than making a desperate one.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
Larry starts every relationship with a conversation to understand your specific challenges. From there, he’ll recommend the right strategy that fits your situation and goals.
