Opening a practice takes about 12–18 months and eight or nine outside parties who each need something from the others. We coordinate the whole process. Ten stages from kickoff to opening day, covering entity formation, site selection, lease and loan, architectural plans, equipment, licensing, staffing, and pricing, with the pro forma and the lender package built. This may be your first time starting a business. It is not ours.
An asking price tells you what the seller wants, not what the practice earns or what it will service in debt. We run an independent EBITDA-based valuation, build the post-close pro forma so you can see profitability the day you take over, and model the loan payment against it. From there we help manage the transition through offer, financing, and closing, coordinating the lender and both attorneys so the deal keeps moving.
Most owners sell a practice once, which makes an offer hard to judge without knowing how the number was built. We produce a formal EBITDA-based valuation, model what you actually keep after taxes and fees, and manage the sale through closing. When you are ready to find a buyer, the NxtVet Marketplace™ puts the practice in front of veterinarians looking to own it.
The second job starts after your last appointment. Books, payroll, vendor invoices, and the question of whether anything is actually priced right. Bookkeeping takes that off your desk and maps income and expenses to the AAHA Chart of Accounts, so margin by revenue center, services priced below cost, and lost capacity all show up on the financials. Consulting works those findings into pricing, staffing, and expense decisions across the year. Together they are OneView™, one relationship covering both.
It is one business, but it rarely reports like one. For most groups the fastest growth is closing the gap between the best location and the worst, and that comparison only works when every site reports on the same chart of accounts. We standardize the books across locations so margin by revenue center lines up, then work the differences through CFO services on a schedule, with pricing, staffing, and vendor costs addressed before a soft quarter at one site shows up in the consolidated number.
The practice takes the attention, and the personal plan moves to next quarter and then to next year. Retirement savings, student loans, insurance, and investments are handled as one coordinated plan rather than six separate decisions, all while factoring in what the practice is worth.
