Hear From Our Clients

  • "Right off the bat, HINGE knew several buyers who would be interested in our school. Their connections run deep, and they knew exactly how to bring our school to market to help us gain the most value. We were thrilled to have multiple competing offers and — even more important — an ally on our side to look out for our best interests as the sellers. They were constantly communicating with us, made sure all our bases were covered with the transaction, and helped us get a deal done that we all feel good about."

  • "Having sold other schools, I knew I needed an advisor to support me and advocate for the best interests of our community. From my very first conversation with HINGE Advisors, I knew they were special. They made me feel so comfortable and knew exactly where I was coming from. With their process and expertise, all the pieces fell right into place. We attracted interest from several well-respected education buyers, found a fantastic provider to further our mission, and closed the sale in a tight timeframe — all with minimal stress. HINGE has been an incredibly valuable partner in setting our school up for more good things to come."

  • “The support we got from HINGE was unbelievable. They certainly live up to their reputation for being the top advisors and experts in the industry. We appreciate how much they simplified the complex process of selling multiple schools and how they helped us get the deal done right. As we head into retirement, we love knowing our schools will continue providing children a well-rounded, global education.”

  • "Columbus Pre-School has been family owned and operated since 1988. Needless to say, choosing an advisor to help us find the right buyer so our school can continue serving our community was a big decision for us. After interviewing multiple firms, we selected HINGE Advisors. The HINGE team is so genuine, responsive, and knowledgeable. We had no idea what to expect in terms of the financials or the process but they showed us the way. We were thrilled to receive multiple highly competitive offers and ultimately find the best successor for the business."

  • "Kiddie Konnection was our whole lives, and we knew it would take a special partner to help us pass the torch. Our goal was to sell our childcare business and real estate in one shot, and HINGE Advisors helped us get the job done. I thought I was going to have to do so much more work than I actually did. HINGE made everything so easy, from finding a buyer to guiding us through the transaction, due diligence, and closing process. They are just phenomenal. We can't thank them enough!"

  • "After attempting to sell our childcare business and real estate on our own, with two failed transactions, we decided to turn to a childcare broker. After interviewing several companies, we chose HINGE Advisors. We felt they would give us more of a personal touch, and we definitely made the right decision. They held our hand every step of the way, making this very emotional transaction much easier for us. We closed both businesses within four months! The only decision we need to make now is, 'What will we do today?'”
