Why You Should Attend

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), as of 2008 there were nearly 60,000 private veterinary practices in the United States.  Representing a wide variety of specialties, business models, and valuation challenges, these practices are undergoing the same level of Baby-Boomer-related turnover as other industries, while facing demographic changes to both veterinarians and the types of animals they treat – all while facing the uncertainty of today’s market.

On September 2, our all-star panel of Cindy Collier, David Greene, and Byron Farquer will help listeners navigate through the tricky spots of veterinary practice valuations: everything from emerging industry trends and common business practices to finding the right data for your valuation and parsing through the books of any valuation target.  In addition to hands-on examples and case studies, this teleconference will feature the valuation expertise of Cindy Collier (co-editor of BVR’s Guide to Healthcare Valuation), the brokerage experience of David Greene, and the insights of Byron Farquer, a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and veterinary practice broker.
