“The practice is our baby, and we run things our way.” Without Vets for Pets, there’s no way I could own a veterinary practice.” Julie Clark, Practice Manager and Owner
Our practice ownership model is designed to make your dream a reality with a flexible investment approach. For sole ownership of a brand-new practice, you’ll need £20,000. If you choose to partner with a co-owner/s, the investment is equally split between you. You then borrow the remaining finance from one of our partnered banks. New practices also benefit from a two-year repayment holiday, allowing you to build your business before making loan repayments.
In addition to your benefits package, which includes a pension, life cover, income protection, and a generous 28-day holiday package, you will take a salary from day one. This allows you to focus on what you do best and help your practice to flourish. Us – From the start, we’re there to help you establish your practice, grow strategically and build a valuable asset for your future. We provide comprehensive business support, from helping you recruit and manage your finances and payroll to providing dedicated IT, marketing and HR services. This works on a sliding scale, depending on where you’re at in your journey, and is based on net turnover, never profit, as we always aim to help you maximise the profit your business earns.
The future – Things change, and when the time comes for you to move on to new adventures and exit the practice, you are entitled to 100% of the goodwill and asset value. You can sell your shares to a new practice owner, and the partnership team will support you to market your practice to find a new buyer and help facilitate the sale.
“I take time off for holidays, festivals and the things I want to do because, as a business owner, I can. But more than that, when life happens, there is an extra layer of support. I suffered a sudden bereavement, and this model truly helped keep my business running through things like insurance to cover locum fees. I can’t stress how much of a relief that was.
If you want to be your own boss – as I did – but also have support with the additional work that comes through actually being your own boss, then this is an excellent model.” Ready to turn your veterinary dreams into reality? What better way to start your veterinary career than by opening your own state-of-the-art practice?
We’re excited to open our brand-new practice in Malvern — a picturesque spa town nestled at the foot of the stunning Malvern Hills. With easy links to Worcester, Hereford and the wider West Midlands, Malvern offers the perfect blend of countryside tranquillity and town convenience.
Our new practice will be located within an established Pet Care Centre — a trusted local hub that naturally attracts new pet owners and a steady stream of potential clients. This is your chance to become a familiar, friendly face in the community, grow your client base, and build your reputation — all with the backing of our dedicated and experienced support teams.
We’ll work with you to transform the space into the practice you need, including three consult rooms, a prep area and theatre, X-ray, pharmacy, laboratory, separate cat and dog wards and waiting areas, an isolation ward, office, and a fully branded reception area.
