The Medivet Branch Partnership model is unique within the industry offering vets the opportunity to own their own clinic whilst partnering with a company committed to the success of their Branch Partners. The model offers an attractive investment option and a very rewarding career option for aspirational vets in practice.
The Branch Partnership model is an equity partnership based on the traditional partnership model. The model offers true co-ownership where each month clinic profits and costs are split between the Branch Partner and Medivet based on the percentage of equity owned. An advantage of this model is that the success of both the Branch Partner and Medivet is based on the same goals meaning that we as Medivet are committed to ensuring that our Branch Partners succeed.
Utilising the clinical expertise and leadership skills of the Branch Partner and the commercial and operational expertise of Medivet, we will grow and develop the clinic creating value. As the clinic grows so will the profits and therefore earnings of Branch Partner.
The Medivet model is truly unique offering a flexible exit option. When a Branch Partner wishes to leave the partnership, not only can they sell their shares to a new Branch Partner but they also now have the option to sell there equity back to Medivet at regular intervals on a pre-defined multiple. This allows Branch Partners to plan their partnership journey whilst giving partners a safety net to leave should their circumstances change.
This transparent model gives Branch Partners the ability to build wealth through the concept of value creation allowing them to plan financially for their future whilst pursuing a rewarding clinical career.
Medivet are committed to supporting our Branch Partners to deliver the very best client and patient care. Our Branch Partners retain full clinical autonomy of their clinics however support will always be available. Through our extensive clinical community of practicing vets and nurses and our dedicated clinical team our Branch Partners are never on their own, removing the loneliness of becoming a Branch Partner.
Each clinic is supported by an extensive field support team operating as satellites of our centralised specialist teams covering all functions such as HR, finance, facilities, procurement, and marketing. The Regional Operations Directors are the link between all the support functions and are the main support to clinics on a day to day basis. The Regional Operations Directors not only provide operational support to clinics but through integrated systems, work with clinics to provide insight into how to develop the clinic further. Additional support is available when needed by from functional experts across our Support Centre to creating and delivering plans with real impact.
We know how important it is for all our Branch Partners to get a solid start and so each branch Partner will receive a full initial onboarding tailored to them covering all aspects of their clinic. Following this, our Branch Partners will be enrolled on to a six month external coaching programme to support their leadership journey as well internally taught modules covering the essential skills and knowledge needed to become a successful Branch Partner.
