There are a lot of misconceptions out there among vets who are buying practices, about the council zoning required for a vet practice. Can you put a surgery in a retail shop and start practicing? Can a vet practice operate in an area that is zoned “commercial”, or does it need special purpose zoning? What […]
There are a lot of misconceptions out there among veterinarians who are buying practices, about the moving parts in a Vet premises lease. What is and isn’t negotiable?
