For business owners
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Vetnovo will work with you to support your vision for your business, bringing you the benefits of being part of a larger group whilst retaining your practice’s identity and values.
-
Absolutely not - we recognise that you and your team are the experts in how to provide the best clinical care to your patients. We will provide a wealth of resources and templates that have been developed in collaboration with our member practitioners, but at the end of the day you will always have the freedom to adapt and adopt these as and when you see fit. However, we do need to make sure all our practices are legally compliant, and make adjustments where they are not.
-
In case you made a lot of investments (e.g., equipment or facility upgrades) in the last financial year, we can consider taking an average of your EBITDA over the last 3 financial years instead of just the last year.
-
There may be, yes. In particular, the salary you want can be set by you. While we expect you to take at least £75,000 / year in the UK as a salary, you are free to set a higher number. Any salary adjustments will have a corresponding adjustment in the EBIT figures (and hence the valuation of the business).
