Ready to turn your veterinary ambitions into reality? Join a supportive ownership model where you get clinical freedom, financial backing, and a thriving community of fellow practice owners.
This is a rare opportunity to establish and run your own small animal veterinary practice in Carmarthen, a vibrant market town in West Wales surrounded by beautiful countryside and coastal access. With excellent transport links to Swansea and beyond, you'll be opening a brand-new state-of-the-art facility within an existing Pet Care Centre, a natural first stop for new pet owners and a built-in stream of potential clients.
You'll have genuine clinical and operational autonomy. This is your practice, driven by your ambition and vision. From day one, you'll take a salary and earn 100% of future profits. Once loans are repaid, you'll benefit from dividends paid twice annually, plus the growing value of the practice itself.
Vets for Pets supports you at every stage. For sole ownership, the initial investment is £20,000 (equally split if you partner with a co-owner). You borrow the remaining finance through their partnered banks. New practices benefit from a two-year repayment holiday to establish your business before loan repayments begin.
Support includes comprehensive business services: help with recruitment, financial management, payroll, dedicated IT, marketing, and HR. In return, Vets for Pets receives a sliding-scale revenue share based on net turnover, never profit, so you maximise your earnings. When you're ready to exit, you own 100% of the goodwill and asset value, with full support to find a new owner and facilitate the sale.
Your practice will include three consultation rooms, a prep area and theatre, X-ray, pharmacy, laboratory, separate cat and dog wards and waiting areas, an isolation ward, office, and fully branded reception. The space will be tailored to your needs. Launch timeline: 6-12 months.
Vets for Pets is an innovative practice ownership model designed to make veterinary entrepreneurship achievable. They provide the brand recognition, financial backing, operational expertise, and peer support network that enable experienced vets to establish and grow their own practices with genuine independence. This is a partnership model, not a corporate franchise: you retain full clinical control and business autonomy, supported by specialist teams who handle the business complexities so you can focus on veterinary excellence.
