🔍 Research shows many veterinarians are selling their practices for less than they’re worth. Why? Because selling isn’t their expertise—it’s ours. Just like in real estate, going it alone without an advisor can cost you. But with the right advisor: 💡 6x More Offers 💡 30% Higher Practice Value 💡 10x Faster Closings Don’t leave money on the table. Let our team guide you to the best deal for your practice. 🐾💼 #veterinarypracticesales #veterinarypracticeowners #veterinarians #DVM

💡 When Should You Start Your Veterinary Practice Valuation? Timing is just as crucial as the sale itself! Here’s when you should begin the valuation process: 🔹 3-5 years before selling – Early evaluations help identify areas for improvement, so you can maximize your practice’s value. 🔹 When ownership transfers – If an Associate DVM or partner buys in, ensure you have an up-to-date valuation. 🔹 If a partner retires, leaves, or passes – Make sure insurance reflects the true worth of your practice. 🔹 When applying for a loan – Knowing your practice’s value strengthens your financial position. Start early, plan smart, and maximize your sale! 🚀🐾 #Veterinarians #AckermanGroup #VeterinaryPracticeOwners

🐾 What is a Recapitalization, and why would you need it? 🤔💰 If you’re a veterinary practice owner thinking about selling, you may have heard the term recapitalization (or "recap")—but what does it actually mean? A recap is when a private equity-backed group acquires a majority stake in your practice while you retain partial ownership. This structure allows you to: 🔹 Unlock immediate financial value while keeping equity 🔹 Leverage operational support & resources to grow faster 🔹 Benefit from a second sale at a potentially higher valuation In short, a recap lets you cash in now, stay involved, and profit again later. It’s an attractive option for veterinarians who want financial security without fully stepping away. Thinking about the next chapter for your practice? Let’s chat! 👇 Email us at contact@ackerman-group.com or fill out a valuation form online here: https://lnkd.in/e-d3mfSc
