I Want to Sell my School in a Few Years—When Should I Connect with an Advisor?

If you think you’re less than 5 years away from putting your childcare business and/or real estate up for sale, now is the time to connect with an industry-specific Transaction Advisor. Whether you’re looking to sell your preschool now or thinking about what the next couple of years may look like, let’s start talking! Here are five reasons why you should connect with an early education advisor now:

  1. Financial analysis will greatly increase future value. Small adjustments in tuition, discounting, occupancy, and expenses make big differences in value! With a confidential valuation, the team at HINGE Advisors can make recommendations around best practices and slight changes that can make a big impact on your value. 

  2. Staying current on buyer activity will help you know when the time is right. HINGE stays closely aligned with buyers and their current activity as well as future needs. When we are aligned with prospective sellers, we can let them know when buyers are looking for exactly their opportunity.

  3. Strategizing how to get your team, systems, and facilities ready can increase value.  HINGE can also help you prepare your team for your exit and ensure that they successfully serve your families for years to come. Our team can also make suggestions on system and facility updates to better align with prospective buyers and investors.

  4. Aligning Advisors means a smoother process.  Closer to the launch of your opportunity, the team at HINGE can align with your attorney and CPA resources to coordinate strategies and information flow.

  5. You might be surprised that you are more ready than you thought!  After learning about current buyer activity from the HINGE team, you may realize that you can reach your selling goals now. With increased buying activity there is a lot of creativity around getting value today for schools that are still ramping or even in the process of opening. We can help provide you with the most up-to-date market information to inform your decision on timing.

When you connect with HINGE, there are no obligations or up-front fees — we only get paid when you do! Take advantage of our industry experience and knowledge and let us help you create a succession plan today!
