How this calculator works
The veterinary calculator analyzes 42 disclosed M&A transactions in our database against your inputs, then applies adjustments specific to veterinary businesses (margin vs the vertical median, growth trend, recurring revenue mix, owner dependency, customer concentration). Output is a tight range around the most-likely transaction value, with the underlying multiples revealed on the results page.
What drives premium multiples in veterinary
- Multi-DVM staffing with retention bonuses already in place (corporate buyer requirement)
- Geographic fit for active consolidators (Mars/VCA, NVA, Thrive, Pathway)
- Diversified revenue (services + retail + grooming reduces concentration risk)
What compresses veterinary multiples
- Single-DVM owner-operator (corporate buyer pool walks, forced into vet-to-vet sale)
- Associate planning to leave within 12 months of sale (deal-breaker for corporate)
- Revenue under $1M (below corporate-buyer transaction-cost threshold)
