Veterinary M&A Advisory | UK and US
Independent sell-side advisory for veterinary practice owners. We run a competitive process across CVS, IVC, Medivet, VetPartners and independent buyers, so you know what your practice is worth and negotiate from strength.
Valuation gaps you cannot see
Deferred payments, earnout conditions tied to metrics you cannot control post-sale, and clawback clauses that reduce the final figure. Without competing offers, buyers anchor low.
Will the buyer gut the culture, rip out systems too fast, and lose the people who built this practice? The wrong acquirer can undo years of culture overnight.
Takes the practice down the wrong route. Does not care for patients or clients the way you did. Pins you on a painful earnout while you are trying to enjoy retirement.
Before You Speak to Anyone
If you own a successful veterinary practice, you have probably been approached. LinkedIn messages, cold emails, phone calls from buyers and brokers who all sound the same. But you have no idea who is serious, who has the capital, and who will waste months of your time before offering a figure well below what your practice is worth.
Professional acquirers and their advisers have a playbook. They know how to build rapport, create urgency, and present offers that look generous on paper but cost you in hidden terms. Earnout clauses tied to metrics you cannot control. Non-compete restrictions. Warranty terms that claw back a portion of the sale price years later.
Without competing offers, there is no leverage. The buyer sets the pace, anchors low, and waits.

I could not have asked for better support. They found the perfect buyer and secured terms that exceeded my expectations.
The team guided me through every step. I felt completely supported from first call to completion. I then referred my friend Jennifer, who also sold her company with them.
We Only Work in Your Sector
We focus exclusively on building services, facilities management, and healthcare. In veterinary, that means knowing CVS's acquisition criteria, IVC's geographic focus, the RCVS Practice Standards Scheme, and the difference between a solo small-animal practice and a referral hospital. Generalist advisors cannot match this depth.
You Will Have Multiple Offers
We do not find you one buyer. We create a competitive process with multiple qualified offers on the table at the same time. That gives you the power to choose not just the best price, but the best terms, the best cultural fit, and the best outcome for your team.
We Qualify Buyers Before They Meet You
Every buyer is vetted for intent, capital, and alignment before they are introduced to you. No tyre-kickers. No time-wasters fishing for information. No one who will lowball you after months of due diligence.

See why veterinary practice owners choose DealFlowAgent over traditional brokers and going it alone.
How much is my veterinary practice worth?
Veterinary practice valuations depend on a range of factors including practice type, size, location, team stability, recurring revenue from wellness plans, and growth trajectory. Small animal practices, equine clinics, and specialist referral hospitals each have different value drivers. The best way to understand your practice's value is a confidential conversation with our team.
How long does it take to sell a veterinary practice in the UK?
Our average timeline is 10 to 14 weeks from engagement to completion. This is significantly faster than the industry average of 6 to 12 months because our AI-enabled matching system identifies qualified buyers quickly, and our team qualifies their interest before any introductions are made.
What happens to my staff when I sell my veterinary practice?
Most buyers want to retain the existing team, especially experienced veterinarians and nurses. We specifically assess buyers on how they treat staff during and after acquisition. Finding a buyer who will look after your team is a core part of our process, not an afterthought.
Do I need to stay on after selling my veterinary practice?
This depends on your preference and the buyer's requirements. Most acquisitions include a transition period of 6 to 24 months where the selling vet remains involved to ensure continuity for clients and staff. Some owners prefer a clean exit, while others enjoy reduced hours with less administrative burden. We help you find a buyer whose expectations align with your goals.
How does the RCVS registration work when selling a practice?
Your RCVS registration is personal to you and remains unaffected by the sale of your practice. You can continue practising as a veterinarian regardless of ownership changes. Most buyers actually want selling vets to stay on during a transition period, which allows you to maintain your professional standing while supporting the handover.
What fees do M&A advisors charge to sell a veterinary practice?
Our fee structure is set out in writing on the first confidential call, before any engagement begins. There are no hidden charges and our interests are aligned directly with yours.
How do I sell my veterinary practice to a corporate buyer like CVS or IVC?
Corporate consolidators like CVS, IVC Evidensia, and Mars Veterinary Health have specific acquisition criteria around practice size, location, team stability, and growth trajectory. We understand these criteria in detail and can position your practice to attract the strongest interest and best terms from multiple corporate buyers simultaneously.
Every exit is led by a senior advisor who has been through it themselves. Meet the team who will guide you.
For every deal, our advisory team includes a sector specialist from that client's specific industry and niche: bringing relationships, insider knowledge, and leverage to support your process and achieve the best acquisition outcome.
