The process of selling a Veterinary practice can be exceptionally challenging for those without experience in practice transitions. It’s a process that requires the leadership and guidance of an expert in the Veterinary practice field, as well as a comprehensive understanding of the steps involved in a business sale. The experts at OMNI Veterinary Practice group have decades of experience helping practice sellers locate qualified buyers for a seamless business sale, and in this latest article, we explain the cons of completing a sale without a Veterinary practice broker.

The Seller May Not Receive Full Practice Value
A broker can help their client to achieve full value for the money they’ve placed into their business over the long-term. They can then work to obtain viable selling opportunities and to locate qualified buyers within the marketplace. Without this type of guidance, the seller may find their selling opportunities restricted. They may discover that they can only achieve a small proportion of their total Veterinary practice value in the sale. With corporate buyers in the mix, this can mean losing out on potentially a million dollars or more.

Sellers are unable to Handle the Legal Aspects Alone
The legal aspect of a practice transition is often a critical element within the Veterinary practice sale process. Buyers will have their lawyers review the business’s paperwork and any issues they find must be analyzed closely by experts in the legal field. Brokers often have significant legal experience or have a legal team on their side and can help handle any challenges that arise during the transition process, while keeping the seller’s needs as the foremost consideration. The broker will be available at any time via phone or email to answer the seller’s or buyer’s questions and move the transaction process along. This can help prevent the seller from making poor choices and becoming embroiled in legal challenges.

The Seller Doesn’t Have Marketing Experience
When bringing a Veterinary practice to the marketplace, the seller must be able to highlight the advantages of their business in a way that attracts qualified buyers. Brokers are often experts in this area. They can use their experience to craft compelling marketing materials for the seller and use their experience in the marketplace to build target buyer lists and send out high-value content to these buyer lists.

Sellers Cannot Handle Mediation with Buyers Alone
The buyer will likely have a lawyer driving their purchase process. The lawyer will be negotiating with the seller on all elements of the transaction, including the final price. Having a broker on-hand during this process ensures the broker can handle all mediation, negotiating on the seller’s behalf to get the right price and the ideal structure for the purchase.

Working with a qualified broker can help Veterinary practice sellers reduce their transaction challenges and secure a seamless sale. To learn more, speak with our team at OMNI Veterinary Practice Group at 877.866.6053 or visit our business website at www.omnipg-vet.com.
