DVMmatch is a veterinary hospital brokerage and consulting services franchise that helps professionals navigate ownership transitions.

DVMmatch was founded in 2020 by Thad Miller in Indiana. The model builds on a process-driven approach to transitions, combining a structured “Trusted Transition Process” with advisory support and an interactive website that lets users search listings and potential matches. Over time, the company formalized its methods, including resources such as its Trusted Valuation Analysis and Hospital Opportunity Blueprint, to support consistent delivery across franchised businesses.
