50% Ownership Opportunity — R6,600,000
An opportunity is available for an SAVC-registered veterinarian to acquire a 50% interest in an established veterinary practice, together with a corresponding 50% interest in the associated property, in South Africa’s sought-after Garden Route.
One partner is seeking an expedited exit, opening the door for an incoming veterinarian to enter ownership alongside the continuing partner and help shape the future of a longstanding professional practice.
Overview
Serving companion animals and the surrounding farming community, the practice combines preventative healthcare, consultations, diagnostic services, surgical work and livestock care.
An established client base, operating infrastructure and experienced support staff provide a foundation for a purchaser seeking to combine clinical work with business ownership.
The inclusion of a property interest adds a further dimension to the opportunity, allowing the incoming owner to participate in both the practice and its premises.
Key Features:
Established Community Presence
Longstanding relationships with pet owners and agricultural clients support an ongoing need for veterinary services.
Varied Clinical Work
The practice offers a combination of companion-animal and livestock services, with scope for an incoming partner to contribute their experience and areas of clinical interest.
Existing Facilities & Equipment
Consulting and treatment facilities, clinical equipment and administrative systems support the daily operation. A detailed asset register is available for review following qualification and completion of an NDA.
Experienced Support Staff
Reception, administration, nursing and animal-care support assist with client service and the practical running of the hospital.
After-Hours Care
Emergency services form part of the practice’s offering. The incoming partner’s duties and participation in the after-hours arrangements will be agreed.
Property Interest Included
The combined asking price includes a corresponding 50% interest in the associated property, subject to the agreed ownership and transaction structure.
Financial Overview
For the financial year ended 28 February 2025, the practice reported total operating income of approximately R13.63 million, supported by a history of profitable trading.
This figure represents the performance of the whole practice, rather than the 50% interest offered. Financial statements and supporting information will be provided to qualified purchasers to assess earnings, partner remuneration, profit-sharing arrangements and working-capital requirements.
