What Makes AAH Different?

Tailored Partnerships, Medical Autonomy, and More

Choosing Alliance Animal Health means choosing a partnership that’s tailored to your unique needs. We offer customized business solutions that respect your medical autonomy, support your growth, and preserve your practice’s culture. Our Joint Venture model ensures you remain an integral part of your practice’s future, with a team dedicated to your success every step of the way.

Joint Venture Model + Business Solutions

No two veterinary practices as the same, which is why we don’t build “one-size-fits-all” partnerships. You deserve a partnership that honors your needs, appreciates your values, and sets you up for success.

Our team doesn’t just want to get to know you, we want to understand your passion, your team, and what makes your tail wag so we can create a customized model for you.

Is Joint Venture Right For You?

When considering options for selling or partnering your veterinary practice, it’s essential to understand the different types of corporate groups available. Each option offers distinct advantages and trade-offs depending on your long-term goals, financial needs, and desired level of autonomy.

100% Buyout

  • Receive 100% cash at close, ideal for DVMs near retirement or absentee owners.
  • Lower autonomy with higher upfront enterprise value (EV).
  • Becoming more restrictive as economic pressures tighten.

100% and HoldCo Stock

  • Get “100% cash at close,” but with the requirement to reinvest a portion into the parent company.
  • Offers potential for significant returns, though ownership at the local level is forfeited.
  • Provides moderate autonomy.

Joint Venture

  • Acquire between 51% and 90% of the practice while maintaining local ownership and control over medical decisions.
  • Allows participation in the parent company re-cap, offering higher autonomy and potentially higher total deal value (TDV).

PROS

  • Can take a portion of your practice value off the table while maintaining ownership of your practice at the local level.
  • You continue to lead the people, culture, and medical direction of the practice while others handle the back-office duties.
  • You can participate in the corporate valuation upon exit. Max value for your practice.
  • Ownership opportunity for your associates.

CONS

  • The exit timeline is uncertain, tied to parent company recapitalization.
  • Continued employment may be required post-recapitalization to maximize exit value.
  • Upfront deal value (EV) is usually lower than 100% buyouts, though total value may be higher (often overestimated).
  • Be wary of unrealistic returns on Holdco stock.
