From a Vet’s Side Hustle to Nearly $20 Million—Without Outside Funding

Victoria Johnson built a veterinary radiology business to nearly £20 million in turnover—without outside funding. A vet by training, Victoria started by reading scans for veterinary practices, funding her new venture through a second business and figuring things out as she went. In conversation with Geeta Sidhu-Robb, she shares how that scrappy beginning grew into a company operating across 26 countries, why risk registers and formal board meetings eventually became essential, and what bootstrapping gave her that money can’t buy: the freedom to build a business around family life. But there was a trade-off—she was answering emails with a one-day-old baby on her lap. An honest conversation about bootstrapping, growth, leadership, and building a business on your own terms.
