What is veterinary business consultancy?

The honest answer is that no two consultancy projects are the same. Fundamentally, our approach to veterinary business support is to be honest and pragmatic. We’ll always evidence any recommendations we make and we don’t shy away from telling the hard truths when they need to be told for the good of the business.

Our support can range from reading briefs, summarising proposals and critiquing products and services, all the way up to sitting on your Board as an impartial non-executive director.

How does it work?

Our veterinary business consultancy services are as flexible or specific as you need them to be. Every business is different, every project has unique objectives and challenges and so we work closely with you to understand what level of support you need.

Once we’ve allocated the most appropriately skilled veterinary business consultant to you, their time is booked by the hour. Simply choose the slot you want from the online diary and join the Zoom call that will be scheduled for you. We can also attend meetings in-person if required (travel expenses may
apply).

What do I get?

With Onswitch’s veterinary business consultancy you’ll get unbiased, evidenced advice and clear recommended actions. We have an extensive network of professional colleagues across HR, accountancy and legal services, so where more specialist support is needed we can recommend where to find it.

We can also help with...

Business health check

Just as you recommend regular health checks for the patients in your care, your business benefits from a periodic review of people and processes in order to stay efficient and focused on delivering an excellent customer experience.

HEAR FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

“Just wanted to say a massive thank you for the course - eye opening and so interesting, it has changed the way I think and will handle calls forever”
Camilla ChurchVet and Business Owner, Perth Equine Vets

“Onswitch have been transformative for the structure and management of our practice. We have used them since about 6 months after we opened and we have gone from chaotic disorganised mayhem to chaotic organised mayhem. Exactly the way we like it! Always helpful, always there, they have allowed our business to grow and thrive in a vision that still remains 'us'”
Carly DayVet and Business Owner, Bury St Edmunds Veterinary Centre

“We requested a Business Health Check as we had experienced rather rapid growth at the practice and felt we were losing some direction. Having an outside view of the business have us an honest and real account of where we were, what needed to be done to achieve what we wanted and a framework to support this. We have made inroads into starting processes to improve our ways of working and are enjoying seeing the impact these ongoing developments are already having for our team and our patients. ”
Lucy ButlerAldgate Veterinary Practice

“Onswitch's price checker provided us with some really valuable insights into our competitors and ensured that we were pricing our common procedures competitively. It was really good value and saved us a lot of leg work!”
Ellie LeeBusiness Owner, Manchester Cat Clinic

“We've used the Consult Coach program for a number of years, and find it particularly effective with our early career veterinarians. While filming consultations can be daunting, we find the feedback process is ultimately rewarding and drives positive change. The 7 Steps process gives a clear framework for effective consultations and the personalised feedback helps them improve and gain confidence as well as get better outcomes for clients, pets and their clinics.”
Lindsay EvansGreencross Vets, Veterinary Learning and Development Manager

“Alison's advice has been invaluable both before and after opening our independent small animal practice and helped the practice to thrive. Her wide ranging experience at a national and international level and pragmatic approach are brilliant to give an outside perspective.”
Emily Knight, Business Owner, Wight Vets

“The New Practice Viability Study offered by Onswitch was immensely helpful in starting our new business on solid foundation. Not only did it help me carefully choose our premises but it also opened my eyes to various factors that had never been brought to my attention before. Sophie C and Alison were incredible supportive throughout the entire premises journey and were always available to answer all my questions. I would highly recommend Onswitch's viability study!”
