PRACTICE SIZE MATTERS

A well run veterinary practice should bring about 30 to 35% of gross revenue to the “bottom line” – that’s the net cash flow enjoyed by the owner. So, a well run microchip grossing under 300,000 per year usually only produces about $100,000 in net cash flow. when a buyer comes forward for the practice, the buyer must pay, out of that historical that cash flow, the debt payments on the acquisition loan, before enjoying his/her own personal net cash flow. As a result, better markets exist for larger practices. Contact us for more information– www.dvmconsultants.com. (504) 957-5506 or (504) 782-2203.

MANAGING PRACTICE INVENTORY

One of the most significant impediments to DVM Practice profitability is poor inventory management and the
resulting high-levels of Cost of Goods Sold (CGS). Veterinary industry averages show that the average CGS is
in the range of 25-28% of gross revenues, but many Practices have higher numbers. For every 1 percentage
point that a Practice exceeds the average, that’s 1 percentage point that could be going to the Owner in personal
net cash flow

Why DVMs are Good Borrowers
It’s true – most lenders love lending money to veterinarians. That’s because veterinarians have the lowest default rate of any of the borrowing industries in this great free-market economy of ours. Very rarely do veterinarians default on loans for Practice acquisitions.

Are you looking to expand or refinance? We can help you to access National Lenders who can offer better terms and rates than many local banks.

How do interest rates affect practice value?

Interest rates significantly affect the value of veterinary practices in several ways:
Borrowing Costs: Low interest rates make it easier for buyers to finance their purchases, leading to more competitive bids and potentially higher valuations.
1
Purchasing Power: Rising interest rates can reduce the purchasing power of buyers, impacting the pool of qualified buyers and decreasing practice valuation.
1
Market Trends: Practices with high profitability and a strong client base tend to command higher valuations, especially in high-demand areas.
2
Economic Conditions: The overall economic environment, including inflation and interest rates, can influence buyer interest and the perceived risk of purchasing a practice.

Why Do DVM Practice-Owners Sell Their Practices?

While occasionally a Practice owner will sell due to personal illness, incapacity or burn-out, the vast majority of owners sell so they can retire – not from practicing medicine, but from the rigors of owning & managing the business entity. Management of a business takes time over and above the practice of medicine. That’s the “time” that sellers seek to capture for personal relaxation and activities after retirement. A majority of retiring DVMs wish to continue practicing medicine after the sale of their clinics.
