Many practice owners assume their business will fund retirement — but the real question is: Is your practice actually sellable? 

In Part 1 of this 4-part series, Tom Seeko and CJ Burnett break down what buyers look for when purchasing a veterinary hospital, and what can quietly reduce practice value.

You’ll hear how practice value is tied to what transfers to a buyer — including:

  • Consistent profitability
  • A strong, stable team
  • Documented systems and processes
  • A stable client base
  • Clean financials
  • Limited owner dependence

They also cover common value-killers like poor bookkeeping, unclear roles, high turnover, and a practice that can’t function without the owner.

Reflection question: If you disappeared for 90 days… what happens?
