Ben Marcos Quoted in Vet Practice Magazine on the Mid-Sized Growth Stage for Veterinary Clinics

We’re pleased to share that Ben Marcos of BusiVet, was recently featured in Vet Practice Magazine, a leading Australian publication for veterinary professionals and practice owners.

Ben was quoted in the article “That ‘mid-sized hump’ stage of growth,” which explores the challenges veterinary practices face as they transition from small start-ups to mid-sized clinics. This stage of growth is often complex, requiring clear strategy, operational alignment, and long-term planning to maintain momentum.

In the article, Ben shares a key insight on how veterinary practice owners can approach this critical phase of development:

“We believe there’s a place for practices big enough to offer all the key offerings and big enough to offer the benefits of a team environment, but many are choosing to remain independent or allow their vets to buy into the business. We prefer to use a phrase — ‘Either go big, boutique or broke!’”

Ben’s contribution highlights the importance of strategic decision-making and self-awareness for veterinary clinics navigating growth. The article outlines how to recognise the “mid-sized hump,” common pitfalls practices encounter, and practical steps clinic owners can take to move forward with confidence.
