EQT-backed IVC Evidensia is reportedly planning an initial public offering in London and has appointed Goldman Sachs and Jefferies for an up-to £10bn listing that could take place early next year.
This would put the European vet group straight into the FTSE100 list.
EQT acquired Evidensia in 2014. Two years later it acquired Independent Vetcare in 2016, merging the two vet groups a year later.
Evidensia currently operates around 1,500 practices, hospitals and out-of-hour centres across the UK and Ireland, as well as The Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, France and Belgium.
EQT is also considering a trade sale.
