The Next Investor in Veterinary Practices

Southern Veterinary Partners was discussed in a white paper published by Cabor Hill Advisers titled The Next Investor in Veterinary Practices. The market for veterinary practice acquisitions has typically involved two categories of buyers: other veterinarians, either individuals purchasing their first practice or other owners looking to expand, and large national chains. In recent years, however, a third player has emerged: private equity.
