Only Full-Service Veterinary Practice in County | $1.0M Revenue | Real
Business Description
This established veterinary practice represents a compelling acquisition opportunity, operating as the sole full-service veterinary hospital within its county market of approximately 27,000 residents. The practice has maintained continuous operations for over four decades, establishing significant market penetration and multi-generational client relationships that provide sustainable competitive advantages.
The business achieved $1.0 million in annual revenue in 2024, demonstrating strong financial performance with expanding profit margins. Operations are conducted from a purpose-built 4,800 square foot veterinary facility situated on 1.5 acres, with an adjacent residential property included in the transaction. The facility has undergone recent renovations and houses equipment that is owned outright, minimizing future capital expenditure requirements.
Operational stability is evidenced by the retention of experienced staff members with tenure ranging from 2 to 26 years, ensuring continuity of care and reducing integration risks for prospective buyers. The practice benefits from its monopolistic market position as the only comprehensive veterinary service provider in the county, creating natural barriers to competition and supporting premium pricing strategies.
The veterinary services industry demonstrates recession-resistant characteristics as pet healthcare represents essential spending for pet owners. This practice's established market presence, combined with its comprehensive service offerings, positions it favorably within this defensive sector.
The seller has committed to providing extensive transition support for up to two years, facilitating knowledge transfer and client relationship continuity. The transaction includes all real estate assets, equipment, and operational systems, presenting a turnkey opportunity for qualified veterinary professionals or healthcare investors seeking stable cash flow generation and market leadership in an underserved geographic market.
