Selling your practice is typically the biggest business decision you’ll make as a veterinarian. A wide range of emotional, financial and legal issues pave the long road to closing, and there are numerous pitfalls even the most seasoned veterinarian can fall into. In this webinar, Chris Rocchio, DVM and Peter Tanella, Esq. will identify ten common mistakes veterinarians make when contemplating and executing a sale, and offer useful tips for maximizing the value of your practice. Chris and Peter will cover a range of questions, including:
  • When should I begin contemplating my practice sale?
  • When should I focus on the money, and when shouldn’t I?
  • Why should I consider the controlled auction method for my practice sale?
  • How does my real estate factor into the transaction?
  • How can my associate employment agreements affect my valuation?
  • Who should be on my deal team?
