How Selling Your Childcare Business Really Works

Educational Webinars
Written By Cooper Shaw

Selling a childcare business is a high-stakes, multi-step process (even if you sell directly to a buyer) — and understanding it early can dramatically improve your outcome. From initial preparation to final closing, each phase plays a critical role in protecting and maximizing value.

In this comprehensive webinar, Kathy Ligon and Alec Ligon of HINGE Early Education Advisors walk ECE owners through the full lifecycle of early education business and real estate transactions. Drawing on decades of real-world experience and hundreds of successful deals, they break down what to expect at every stage and how to approach each step from a well-informed perspective.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • How to prepare your childcare business for a sale and why timing matters

  • How valuations are determined and what drives buyer interest

  • The role of a structured marketing process and the importance of competitive tension

  • Key considerations during negotiations and due diligence

  • How to navigate the closing process while protecting your outcome

Whether you’re actively considering a sale or simply planning for the future, this webinar provides a clear roadmap to help you avoid common missteps and make informed, strategic decisions.
