Our lending experts are focused on helping veterinarians obtain financing to achieve their dreams—even if you have faced road blocks in the past. In fact, Live Oak Bank was founded solely as a veterinary lender and has a DVM on staff to educate and provide value to our customers and veterinary students that may be future practice owners.

Working with devoted veterinarians like you every day, we understand what it takes for your practice to succeed. We also understand the challenges you’re faced with every day as a small business owner. If you’re looking to begin a ground-up construction project, acquire a practice, refinance or make improvements, we’re the right financing partner to help you reach your goals.

Loan Solutions

Acquisition

Acquiring an existing practice is a great start to veterinary practice ownership. Live Oak offers financing for the acquisition of an existing veterinary practice as well as the real estate.

Construction

You may need to build to expand the footprint of your clinic. A veterinary construction loan is a wonderful way to invest in the future of your veterinary practice.

Multi-Practice Ownership

Expanding to multiple locations is a great next step after successful ownership. Financing will allow you to scale your veterinary practice and achieve new levels of growth.
