Unlocking Value in Veterinary Hospitals: A Seminar for Success

The world of veterinary medicine is rapidly evolving, and for animal hospitals, planning for the future is now more critical than ever. The online seminar titled “Exit Strategy for Veterinary Hospitals: Essential Steps to Maximize Hospital Value” is set to take place on March 13, 2026, hosted by the well-known M&A intermediary, Strike, and Withmal, an esteemed player in the veterinary sector.

Understanding the Need for Organization and Succession in Veterinary Practices

Veterinary hospitals often rely heavily on their founders and lead veterinarians, making it challenging to maintain operational continuity and value during transitions.
