“Considerations in Selling Your Veterinary Practice”

Virgil Ochoa and Eric White will serve as featured speakers at the Wild West Vet Show in Reno, Nevada, on October 17, 2024. Ochoa and White will present “Considerations in Selling Your Veterinary Practice,” which will discuss the basics of selling a veterinary practice and things to look out for before selling. The discussion is designed to provide Veterinarians an overview of the process of selling/affiliating with a service organization and to provide some steps you can take to prepare for a sale.

Attendees will learn: 

• A basic understanding of the legal documents and processes involved in selling a practice.
• To identify specific areas to address prior to entering into a transaction (for example, the areas of EBITDA, operating agreements, and loans) and understand the various steps needed to complete a transaction

What might they share with their fellow licensees about this program?
