Partner Options
Small Animal Imaging offers several options to assist veterinarians in obtaining access to MRI and CT equipment, providing flexibility in financial investment, ownership and risk level. Each option provides access to VetWERC, our unrivaled online training and continuing education services.
Partnership
A partnership is comprised of a host veterinary hospital plus 15-20 referring veterinarians and/or hospitals. By partnering with other veterinarians, you preempt competition and strengthen referral relationships for MRI and CT scans. Equity capital is generated by the various partners, significantly reducing the investment burden on any one individual party.
Joint Venture
Veterinary hospitals and Small Animal Imaging may act as partners in shared ownership arrangements. Each party is responsible for a pro rata portion of expenses and capital needed to initiate and operate the business. Capital from Small Animal Imaging reduces your investment and risk, and you have the flexibility to determine your ownership position according to your financial resources.
Lease
Hospitals and veterinarians may lease MRI and CT equipment from Small Animal Imaging to reduce their investment. Small Animal Imaging will be responsible for all acquisition and installation costs for a turnkey, fully functional MRI or CT imaging service. While you will benefit from our marketing your facility, the lease option does not include the development of partnerships with investor or referring veterinarians.
Direct Sale
Hospitals and veterinarians may purchase MRI and/or CT equipment directly from Small Animal Imaging. Our favorable relationship with select vendors enables you to receive discounted pricing on high-quality, re-manufactured equipment. In addition to significant cost savings, Small Animal Imaging will provide the consultation and oversight necessary for proper installation, operation, appropriate staff training and maintenance.
