Are You “Winging” the Business Side?
You knew how to handle animals.
You knew the medicine like the back of your hand.
You had a clear vision for the kind of practice you wanted to build.
But no one prepared you for this part of running your own practice…
Setting up the right legal structure
Deciding whether to buy or lease the building—and how to protect both
Determining “fair market rent”
Separating personal finances from the business
Figuring out how to actually pay yourself
You weren’t taught how to do this in school.
The truth is, so many veterinarians start their practice by winging it.
And that’s understandable.
You’re passionate, busy, and focused on patient care.
But the longer those gaps in structure go unaddressed, the more risk and stress they create down the line.
This part of the job—the business side—isn’t just red tape.
It’s the foundation that protects your practice, your people, and your future.
If you’re building your practice now, or realizing it’s time to clean up what you’ve already built, don’t wait until it gets more complicated.
Visit my Resource Library for tools and strategies that help you get the financial and legal side of your practice right from the start.
You can’t outsource ownership.
But you can get the support you need to do it right.
