Job Description

Introduction
Our client is a father-son duo that partners with entrepreneurial veterinarians to acquire and operate practices for long-term success. Their mission is to help veterinarians achieve ownership while keeping practices independent. If you are looking to step out of an employed role and into a true partnership/co-ownership position, this is a rare opportunity. Backed by personal family capital and over 40 years of veterinary ownership experience, they provide a genuine alternative to corporate groups and private equity-backed organisations. Unlike traditional routes to ownership, you’ll benefit from significant financial backing, requiring minimal personal capital, while gaining access to operational, clinical, and strategic support to help you succeed long term.

Practice Details
Whether you already have a hospital in mind or are looking for the right opportunity, this private two-person team will be your direct partner in acquiring an established practice; this removes the uncertainty and delays of a start-up model, allowing you to step directly into ownership without the risks of a de novo build.

Your partners will fund the vast majority of the acquisition up front, minimizing your capital requirement and working with you to achieve your desired equity share over an agreed-upon timeframe.

Team
