Beyond the Successful Veterinary Practice: Succession Planning and Other Legal Issues

Practitioner and national consultant Thomas Catanzaro knows that planning for the future today takes the fear out of meeting it tomorrow. In the same practical, easy–to–understand approach of this Building the Successful Veterinary Practice series, Catanzaro guides readers through the process of succession planning. From developing a better leadership structure to understanding the fiscal and legal aspects of a sale transaction, Catanzaro teaches the practice owner how to exit the practice at the time of his or her choosing and to maximize the after–tax profits from the sale. Some of the topics the author explores:

Understanding the forces of change
Calculating the practice’s value
Assessing risks and demographic demands
Compensating team members
Preparing for the sale
Creating a market
Choosing a transaction structure
Selecting a legal structure
Negotiating transaction contracts
Entering into a solo group practice or practice affiliation
Planning for an associate buy–in
Easing the transition of ownership and practice leadership
