Buy a veterinary practice: join the buyer list

This page is general information for veterinarians and investors buying a practice, not legal, tax or lending advice. The SBA rules below are from SOP 50 10 8.1, effective October 1, 2026; confirm them with your lender. Have counsel in the practice's state review any ownership structure, and a CPA review the tax side of the purchase.

How do veterinary practices come up for sale?

Practice owners come to this site for a free, confidential valuation, and nothing about their practice goes to buyers without their permission, so there is no public listing here to watch.

For a seller, finding the right veterinarian to buy can be the slow part. AAHA's Trends magazine reported in July 2024 that finding a practitioner-buyer other than an associate can take several years, and that consolidators typically require sellers to keep working for years. The same article reports Win Lippincott of Ackerman Group as saying that for one- and two-doctor practices, which consolidators overlook, a sale to another practitioner can take years, depending on location. If you can widen the area you would move to, say so under Geographic Coverage on the form.

Who else is looking at the same practices?

Depending on its size, a practice may also draw corporate interest. Simmons & Associates, a veterinary appraisal and brokerage firm, wrote in mid-2024 that practices selling on the open market to private veterinarian buyers generally gross $800,000 to $1.5 million and have one to two FTE veterinarians, while the ideal corporate target grosses over $1.5 million, has at least three FTE veterinarians and sits in a desirable suburban area. The law firm Mandelbaum Barrett described average corporate targets in similar terms in a 2024 presentation, three or more doctors grossing $1.5 million or more, and said practices with specialty services or emergency care have higher demand. Those are two firms' views, not market rules, but if you want a multi-doctor hospital, you may be bidding against a corporate group.

Simmons also calls salability fragile for practices grossing under $700,000, practices in rural locations, and large-animal or mixed-animal practices. That is one firm's judgment about how hard they are to sell, not a finding that they cannot be sold.

Other veterinarians want the same thing you do. In the AVMA's 2022 Economic State of the Veterinary Profession report, 35% of veterinarians who did not own a practice said they wanted to buy or co-own one, including 36% of associates. That is a stated wish, not a count of buyers who can close.

Equine practices follow their own pattern. Consultant Amy L. Grice, VMD, MBA, wrote in EquiManagement in January 2026 that selling to an associate is still the most common exit for small equine practices, and that most large equine referral practices are now owned by global corporations. She wrote that a retiring solo practitioner selling a client list usually agrees to take a declining share, over three years, of the revenue the buying practice earns from those clients; her example was 15%, 10% and 5% of the seller's average EBITDA. If you would finance that kind of purchase with a 7(a) loan, ask the lender how it treats a payment tied to results after closing, since SOP 50 10 8.1 prohibits seller earnouts.

What about practices listed for sale online?

Some are listed publicly. On October 27, 2026, BizBuySell's Veterinary Practices category showed 87 results, not all of them veterinary practices for sale, and the count changes daily. On any listing, the asking price is where the owner starts: BizBuySell says, in general terms, that multiples based on listings run higher than those of businesses that actually sold, because owners set asking prices above what their businesses might typically sell for. Asking prices, multiples and what practices sell for are on what a veterinary practice is worth.

What do you need to buy a veterinary practice?

Settle three things before you make an offer: whether you, or the entity you form, can own a veterinary practice and hold its premises permit in that state; how you will finance it; and where the cash for your equity comes from.

Can you own a veterinary practice without being a veterinarian?

It depends on the state. Some states let a non-veterinarian own the establishment as long as a licensed veterinarian is named to manage or supervise the practice; others restrict which entities may practice veterinary medicine at all.

• Texas. A corporation, trust, estate, partnership or other entity that is not owned entirely by veterinarians licensed in Texas may not engage in veterinary medicine, so a license from another state does not count (Occupations Code 801.506); the statute does not address management-services or real-estate arrangements. Texas law also says a veterinarian's professional services may not be controlled or exploited by a non-veterinarian who intervenes between the veterinarian and the client (801.352).
• New York. No business corporation other than a professional service corporation may “hereafter” be organized for the practice of veterinary medicine, and none organized since may be licensed to practice it or provide veterinary medical services (Education Law 6706). The section does not mention LLCs or management-services agreements.
• California. A premises registration holder does not have to be a veterinary corporation, but the premises-registration section does not authorize anyone other than a California-licensed veterinarian or a veterinary corporation to furnish veterinary services (Business and Professions Code 4853, 4917). The Board must deny, suspend or revoke the registration if a holder who is not licensed has practiced, influenced or exerted control over the provision of veterinary medicine, and every registration depends on a named licensee manager.
• Florida. A person who is not a licensed veterinarian may own and operate a veterinary establishment if the owner holds a premises permit and a licensed veterinarian is designated to supervise the practice, and the Board must be told within 10 days of any new responsible veterinarian (Florida Statutes 474.215(8)). The same subsection requires a statewide criminal records check on the permittee.
• Ohio. A facility owned, operated or controlled by a for-profit entity whose majority controlling interest is held by people who are not licensed veterinarians needs its own veterinary business facility license, with a $300 application fee set in the statute (R.C. 4741.28).
• North Carolina. The Veterinary Practice Act requires a veterinary facility permit to own a veterinary facility and defines “person” to include any firm, entity, partnership or corporation (G.S. 90-187.10). A Board rule as posted still says only licensees may form an entity authorized to practice, so get counsel or Board confirmation before you rely on owning a North Carolina practice without a license.

Large groups work inside rules like these. In its 2016 annual report, VCA said certain states had laws requiring veterinary practices to be owned by licensed veterinarians, and that at the end of 2016 it provided management and administrative services under management agreements to 228 animal hospitals in 16 such states rather than owning them. That was VCA's description in early 2017, and state law may have changed since. If you are not a veterinarian, a structure with a licensed owner of the practice entity and a management company is a question for healthcare counsel in that state before you sign a letter of intent.

If an SBA loan is part of the purchase, SOP 50 10 8.1 says businesses offering services that require professional licenses are eligible provided the ownership structure meets all applicable state requirements, and the lender must document that in the loan file. More states, and what happens to a premises permit on a sale or an owner's death, are in the guide to who can own a veterinary practice.

How much cash do you need, and what shows a seller you can close?

If you buy with an SBA 7(a) loan as an outside buyer, SBA calls the purchase an initial acquisition, and that includes anyone who has worked at the practice for less than 24 months. You put in at least 10% of total project cost, meaning all costs required to become operational from any source except lines of credit and 504 loans, and the lender cannot reduce or waive it. That is SBA's floor; your lender may ask for more. A seller note can supply up to half of the required amount, but only if it is subordinated and on full standby, with nothing paid on it while the 7(a) loan is outstanding. The out-of-pocket cost of due diligence reports may be passed to you, and it counts toward your injection.

Before you ask a selling veterinarian for production reports, put together what shows you can close:

• A prequalification letter or term sheet from your lender
• Bank or brokerage statements showing the cash for your equity injection
• Your license status in the practice's state, or counsel's note on the structure you will use
• For a group, your combined receipts and affiliates, which SBA counts in its size test (below)

The buyer form asks for the short version: your liquid funds, source of funding, maximum acquisition budget and financing status.

How does SBA 7(a) financing work for a veterinary practice?

SBA does not lend the money; it guarantees part of a lender's loan, so the lender applies SBA's rules and its own. Veterinary businesses use the program: our count of SBA's loan-level 7(a) data, as of June 30, 2026, finds 312 non-cancelled 7(a) loans, totaling about $421.4 million, approved in fiscal year 2025 for veterinary services businesses (NAICS 541940), with a median loan of $618,500. That count is ours, not an SBA statistic, and it covers every purpose, from startups and equipment to real estate and acquisitions, so it is not a count of practice sales.

The rules changed on October 1, 2026. SBA Information Notice 5000-880695 (August 14, 2026) says SOP 50 10 8.1 applies to 7(a) applications issued an SBA loan number on or after that date, while applications submitted through September 30, 2026 stay under SOP 50 10 8. For a file caught between the two, ask your lender which version applies.

The lender, not you or the selling veterinarian, orders the valuation of the practice, from an independent appraiser accredited as ASA, CBA, ABV, CVA or BCA, and it may not use a valuation prepared for either of you; at a business purchase price of $350,000 or less it may value the practice itself. Total debt for the business, including any seller note not on full standby, cannot exceed that valuation, and if the price is higher, the difference has to come from equity. A building bought with the practice is appraised separately and its value taken out of the business price; in a blended loan, only the real estate portion may run past 10 years, up to 25.

Debt service coverage is measured on the practice's historical or adjusted earnings from its last fiscal year-end statements, or the average of the last two, and the lender generally may not rely on post-closing projections to meet it. So the practice's past numbers, not your plan to add a second doctor or extend hours, set how much SBA-backed debt you can carry. In an initial acquisition at a business price of $3 million or more, an independent quality of earnings report also reconciles the financial statements, tax returns and IRS transcripts, and the lender must use its earnings for the coverage test.

If you hold a green card, a practice you would own any share of cannot use a 7(a) loan: SOP 50 10 8.1 requires every owner and SBA-required guarantor to be a U.S. citizen or U.S. national whose principal residence is in the United States, and it lists lawful permanent residents as ineligible. That bar has applied since March 1, 2026, when a policy notice revised SOP 50 10 8.

For a practice in a rural county, the fee is worth checking. SBA Information Notice 5000-881797 says that for 7(a) loans approved October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, the upfront guaranty fee is 0% on loans of $700,000 or less to businesses located in a rural area, which SOP 50 10 8.1 defines as a county the Census Bureau has defined as at least 30% rural. On loans of $700,001 to $5 million with a maturity over 12 months, the fee is 3.5% of the guaranteed portion up to $1 million plus 3.75% of the guaranteed portion above that, and the lender may pass it to you.

What if you already own a practice?

SOP 50 10 8.1 may treat the purchase as a business expansion if your practice has operated for at least two full fiscal years under its current ownership and buys 100% of another business in the same four-digit NAICS industry group. Veterinary services is NAICS 541940, in group 5419, which also holds other codes, so ask the lender how it classifies both businesses.

The lender may then reduce or eliminate the 10% injection if your practice has enough liquidity and working capital and did not show a negative net worth at its last fiscal year-end; that call is the lender's, and the minimum coverage is 1.15:1 instead of 1.25:1.

For size, your practice, its affiliates and the one you buy are measured together. SBA's standard for veterinary services is $10.0 million in average annual receipts (13 CFR 121.201). A group over that can still qualify under the alternative standard: tangible net worth of no more than $20 million and average net income after federal income taxes, excluding carry-over losses, of no more than $6.5 million for the two full fiscal years before the application, affiliates included.

Can you buy the practice where you work?

Under SOP 50 10 8.1, a single owner selling 100% to someone employed by the practice for at least the 24 months before the application can be financed as an existing owner buyout. In an owner buyout, the lender may reduce or eliminate the 10% injection, measured against the purchase price, if the practice has enough liquidity and working capital and did not show a negative net worth at its last fiscal year-end, and no quality of earnings report is required.

If you have worked there for less than 24 months, the initial-acquisition credit standards apply, including the 10% minimum, though the seller can still stay on as an owner and employee as an owner buyout allows. The SOP says “employed” and does not say whether an associate paid as an independent contractor counts, so confirm your work history with the lender before you plan around this path.

If the owner wants to sell only part and stay, a 7(a) loan can fund a partial sale in which at least one original owner remains and personally guarantees the loan, and the seller may stay on as an owner or employee; a selling owner who keeps less than 20% must give a full guaranty of the loan for at least two years after final disbursement. In any owner buyout, people who have not worked in the practice for 24 months may acquire less than 50% and may not become the largest shareholder. Some consolidators also offer associates equity or buy-in options, AAHA's Trends magazine reported in July 2024.

Can the selling veterinarian stay on after you buy?

Not as an employee, if a 7(a) loan funds an outside purchase of the whole practice. SOP 50 10 8.1 bars the seller in an initial acquisition or business expansion from staying as an officer, director, stockholder or employee, but the practice may contract with the seller as a consultant for up to 24 months in total, including extensions; SOP 50 10 8 allowed 12. The SOP does not say whether a consulting contract may include seeing patients, and it never mentions veterinarians.

That matters because continuity carries value. Simmons & Associates appraisers say a multi-doctor practice whose associates stay after the sale is worth more than a solo practice whose seller leaves at closing. At a 2022 AAEP Convention session summarized in EquiManagement, Dr. Andrew Clark listed client loyalty to the owner rather than the practice, and no identified successor veterinarian, among the factors that lower an equine practice's value to corporate buyers. If you are counting on the seller's appointment book, or on introductions to long-standing clients, barn managers or referring practices, settle the structure with your lender and counsel before you sign a letter of intent.

Ask counsel, too, how a noncompete from the seller works in that state. The FTC's Non-Compete Clause Rule is not in effect: on September 5, 2025, the FTC voted 3-1 to dismiss its appeals and accede to the vacatur of the rule. Noncompetes in a practice sale remain subject to state law and to case-by-case FTC antitrust enforcement.

What do lenders and sellers look for in a buyer?

A lender on a 7(a) loan looks back, not forward. The practice's own year-end statements have to cover the new debt at 1.25:1, an independent valuation caps what can be borrowed, and the lender checks the figures the appraiser relied on against the seller's IRS transcripts. It also looks at you: your equity, a full guaranty if you will own 20% or more, your citizenship, and an ownership structure that meets the state's rules. Ask early whether the practice's tax returns and its practice-management software reports agree.

A seller of a larger practice may be weighing your offer against a corporate one. Attorneys Peter H. Tanella and Eileen R. Funnell wrote in Today's Veterinary Business in 2024 that corporate buyers generally no longer offer simple cash deals but a mix of cash, equity, promissory notes and earnouts, and that unless the seller is retiring at once, the buyer will most likely require an employment agreement setting how long the seller stays and how many clinical hours they work, usually with a noncompete clause. An outright purchase financed with a 7(a) loan has no earn-out and cannot keep the seller on as an employee, which suits a seller who wants to step away and not one who wants to keep practicing for years.

Expect the building to be part of the conversation. Among owners surveyed for the AVMA's 2024 Veterinary Practice Owners Survey, 54.9% held the practice in one legal entity and the land and buildings in a separate one, 24.7% owned the practice but not the land and building, and 19.3% owned the practice, land and building in one entity. Simmons & Associates says that when the selling veterinarian owns the real estate it is typically sold with the practice in a private sale, while corporate investors typically do not buy it. Decide early whether you want to buy the building or lease it.

What should you ask the seller for?

When the numbers come, compare them with the AVMA's benchmarks. They describe averages and survey medians, not what any practice is worth.

The averages are means, which larger practices pull up, and the two client figures are separate averages: one is not the other divided by the number of veterinarians. Then ask the seller for:

• How the practice defines an active client. Definitions differ: in a 2015 dvm360 article, the VHMA's executive director called a transaction in the last 12 months the industry standard, but most respondents to a small survey of members had extended the window to 18 months or longer.
• Revenue and production by doctor from the practice-management software, for the last few years and the year to date, so you can see how much of the practice depends on the seller.
• Which associates have agreed to stay, and on what terms. In a 2022 AAHA survey, filling a vacant associate veterinarian role took more than 15 months on average; that is a 2022 figure, near the peak of post-pandemic hiring demand.
• Accounts receivable, which matter most in equine, large-animal and mixed practices that bill clients. Attorney Peter H. Tanella wrote in Today's Veterinary Business in 2021 that the most common arrangements are that the seller keeps the receivables and the buyer collects as a courtesy or for a fee, the seller collects and keeps them, or the buyer pays a negotiated amount and collects them after closing.
• An equipment list matched to what the practice actually uses. Simmons & Associates appraisers say buyers pay for income rather than equipment, so extra or very expensive equipment does not increase value.

The veterinary practice due diligence checklist covers the documents a seller and lender will put in front of you.

Which permits and registrations need a new filing from you?

Each of these is tied to the seller or needs a filing in your name. Several have to be in place before you handle controlled substances, use the x-ray or practice in the building, so build them into your closing date.

DEA registration

A DEA registration cannot be assigned or transferred to a buyer without DEA's written consent (21 CFR 1301.52), and a person required to register may not do what the registration covers until DEA grants the application and issues a certificate (21 CFR 1301.13). Our reading of those two rules: plan on a registration in your own name.

If the seller transfers its controlled-substance business to you, it gives the local DEA Special Agent in Charge written notice at least 14 days before, unless DEA waives that, and you must already be a registrant to receive it. A complete inventory taken on the transfer date serves as the seller's final inventory and your initial one, and the controlled-substance records pass to you that day, while the seller stays responsible for the accuracy of records before it.

Each principal place of practice that dispenses controlled substances generally needs its own registration, but a registered veterinarian may transport and dispense them at sites that are not a principal place of practice, such as farm calls or equine ambulatory work, in states where the veterinarian is licensed (21 CFR 1301.12). States can add their own registration: Indiana, for one, requires a state controlled substance registration, and practitioners there may apply for the federal DEA registration once the state one is issued.

Premises permit

In these states, a new owner or a new veterinarian in charge means a filing with the veterinary board.

X-ray registration

In these four states an x-ray registration does not pass to you automatically:

• Ohio. Certificates are not transferable; on a sale the new owner applies for and receives its own registration, at least 30 days before handling the equipment (Adm.Code 3701:1-38-03).
• Minnesota. A new owner must be registered before operating the x-ray equipment and must keep the prior owner's equipment-evaluation and shielding records (Department of Health guidance).
• Texas. A registration cannot be transferred to a buyer without written authorization from DSHS, and the agency should be contacted about an ownership change (DSHS Regulatory Guide 8.2).
• Pennsylvania. Anyone possessing an x-ray machine registers it within 30 days of acquiring it, notifies the department within 30 days of a change in owner, and makes a written request before any registration certificate is transferred (25 Pa. Code 216.2).

Medical records and client notice

State law, not DEA, governs patient records. In Pennsylvania, practice records belong solely to the facility and must be kept at least 3 years from the patient's last treatment (49 Pa. Code 31.22). A Pennsylvania veterinarian who plans to retire or close gives clients written notice at least 30 days before, including the name and contact details of any buyer, and if no notice was given, the successor must notify clients within 60 days of taking over.

VCPRs and feed directives

The federal definition FDA uses for extralabel drug use ties the veterinarian-client-patient relationship to a veterinarian who has recently seen and is personally acquainted with the animals' keeping and care, not to a practice (21 CFR 530.3). A veterinary feed directive has to be issued within a VCPR as the state defines it, and the veterinarian, distributor and client each keep a copy for 2 years (21 CFR 558.6).

Neither rule says what happens to existing relationships when a practice changes hands. Kentucky lets a VCPR extend to another Kentucky-licensed veterinarian employed in the same registered facility who has enough knowledge from the medical record, but its statute does not address a change of owner either. If the practice serves food-animal clients, ask counsel how VCPRs and current feed directives carry over in that state.

IRS Form 8594

If you buy the practice's assets and goodwill attaches, you and the seller each file Form 8594, allocating the price by asset class, with goodwill and going-concern value in Class VII and other intangibles, such as customer-based intangibles and a covenant not to compete, in Class VI. Line 6 asks whether you also entered into a noncompete, lease, employment, management or similar agreement with the seller. Have a CPA set the allocation with you.
