WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
AmeriVet was founded by veterinarians who understand the challenges of practice ownership. Our focus is not just on financial transactions, but on preserving the values, relationships, and community reputation that you’ve built over years. We work collaboratively to ensure your practice continues thriving — both financially and culturally.

CHOOSE A MODEL
Every practice has unique goals and priorities. AmeriVet offers two primary partnership models so you can select the path that works best for your timeline, desired level of involvement, and long-term vision.
JOINT VENTURE (JV)
• Retain an ownership stake
• Continue leading day-to-day operations
• Share in future growth
• Ideal for owners who want to stay involved
TOPCO
• Full practice sale
• Equity participation in AmeriVet
• Continued clinical influence
• Ideal for owners planning long-term transition
Both models are designed to be flexible — for example, you may start with JV to stay involved and later transition toward TopCo. Our team helps guide you to the model that best matches your personal and professional objectives. Not sure which model fits your goals?

There are several benefits to a partnership with AmeriVet. The most significant are:
- Retaining an active role in clinical decision-making, client care, and growing your business.
- Focusing on what you love — practicing veterinary medicine and treating the animals you care about while we work to integrate your business model with our business process support.
- Increasing your income by partnering with our operations team to elevate your business.

AmeriVet offers two models to our veterinary partners: Joint Venture (JV) and Top Company (Topco).
In a JV sale, we purchase a majority share of your practice, and you retain a minority interest. This interest means you continue to have an active role (and financial stake) in growing the veterinary business, benefit from our profit-sharing platform, and receive a premium multiple on any future exit.
In a Topco sale, we purchase your practice in full, and a portion of your purchase price will be paid in AmeriVet shares. This means you continue to have an active role (and financial stake) in growing your veterinary business and ours!
Both models mean you can return to the day-to-day veterinary care you loved before becoming an owner, prioritizing animal health above all else — but you’ll be able to safeguard the core values of your veterinary practice as well as your team members and fellow vets.
