Anyone Can Sell
a Veterinary Practice.
Doing It Well Is Rare.
You’ll only do this once. Years of hard work culminating in one transaction.
The buyers across the table do this every day.
Ackerman Group exists to ensure your once-in-a-lifetime transaction
delivers a once-in-a-lifetime outcome.
“I considered myself an astute businessperson before starting this process. What I quickly realized was how much I didn’t know.”
The Best First Step
One Hour. A Complete Understanding.
An initial consultation with Ackerman isn’t a sales call. It’s an informational call — one that gives you clarity on your practice, your options, and your timing.
Many owners finish this call with a clearer picture of the sale process than owners who’ve already been through it.
We look at three things: where your practice stands today, what the market is paying for practices like yours right now, and where you are personally and professionally. From there we can tell you — honestly — whether the timing makes sense or whether waiting serves you better.
Most owners have never been through this before. We’ll walk you through what the next six to nine months actually looks like — the decisions you’ll face, the moments that matter, and where things typically go wrong. Whether you work with us or not, you’ll leave the call knowing what to anticipate before you take the next step.
What your practice is worth on paper and what you actually walk away with are two different numbers. We’ll help you understand what a sale would likely yield — and whether that outcome maps to where you need to be personally and financially. For some owners the answer is yes immediately. For others it takes planning. Either way, you leave the call with a clearer sense of what financial security looks like on the other side of a sale.
No. Everything stays between us, period. Contemplating the sale of your practice is one of the most private thoughts an owner can have, and we treat it that way. Your staff, your clients, your spouse — no one knows this conversation is happening until you’re ready for them to.
We’ve done this hundreds of times. Have you?
