↓ What you'll learn

Someone knows the value of your life's work. It probably isn't you.

Britain's £6.7 billion veterinary market has been quietly acquired by private equity. Six corporate groups — IVC Evidensia, CVS Group, VetPartners, Medivet, Pets at Home, and Linnaeus — now own roughly 60% of UK practices. They didn't get there by being better at medicine. They got there by being better at money.

The model: buy independent practices cheap from vets who can't read their own accounts, bundle them into a larger entity, and resell the portfolio at 2–3× what they paid. One two-vet practice in the Midlands walked away £400,000 short — not because the owner was deceived, but because he couldn't see the value sitting in his own P&L.

VetUcation exists to close that gap. 27 lessons, from basic profit and loss right through to reading a real group's consolidated accounts and sitting opposite an investor with confidence.

"The number on my cheque looks enormous to you and tiny to me, because I can read what you built and you cannot. Close that gap — and the entire game changes." — The Principal, Off the Leash Ch. 1

8 chapters. Zero to investor-grade.

1
Money Basics
Revenue, costs, profit, and recurring income. The engine behind every vet practice — and why groups pay a premium for health plans.
2
Reading the Numbers
P&L statements, EBITDA, balance sheets, and cash flow. The language corporate buyers speak fluently — and you need to match them.
3
Cash is King
Why profitable practices run out of cash. The insurance payment lag, working capital, and why many small firms fail with money still on their P&L.
4
Pricing & Buying
Set fees that cover cost, overhead, and margin. Drug buying, markup vs margin, and why confusing the two quietly costs thousands.
5
Staff Economics
People are your biggest cost. How to know if a hire earns their keep, the locum maths, and the "partnership track" retention trap.
6
Tax & the Rules (UK)
VAT thresholds, corporation tax, salary vs dividends. The structures that keep more of what you earn — all legal, all overlooked.
7
Investing & Financing
ROI, payback periods, loans, leases — and the personal guarantee nobody explains until after you've signed.
8
What's It Worth?
EBITDA multiples, earn-outs, add-backs, and deal mechanics. How to read a corporate offer — and why the press-release price is never the bank-account price.
