Specialists in veterinary practice sales and acquisitions
About the Veterinary Business Agency
Malcolm Wright and Arthur Wappat are highly experienced in selling veterinary practices and negotiating the optimum value. We work closely with clients from the outset to fully understand their practice so that we can demonstrate its value to prospective buyers.
The goodwill will be a significant factor in the sales of your practice, and it is essential to maximise its value to get the best price when you come to sell. The rationale behind valuing your practice must be concise, clear, and understandable for any buyer.Because we are a small specialist company that only deals with our private veterinary clients in the sale of their practice, we are able to offer a highly personal and professional service. We are responsible only to our clients and their success is our priority.
