Business Appraisals are also referred to as Business Valuations and are very helpful during the buying / selling process of a daycare center for sale. We strongly recommend them for owners considering exiting daycare center ownership as well as for those considering acquiring a center.

As a service to our clients, we use what many believe to be some of the most respected business valuation firms on both a local as well as national basis. We have established relationships and a history of doing business with these firms and have several optional plans for our clients who are considering obtaining a Business Appraisal.

Business Appraisals range in price from about $2,000 to over $8,500. However, for most schools, the average cost is generally around $2,000 to $3,500 depending on many factors.

Business Appraisals have the following benefits:

For Sellers:

• Protection of the Seller’s asset(s)

• Establish credibility and/or justification for the price of the Center

• Reduces of eliminates time spent negotiating regarding the issue of value

• Enhances the “sale-friendliness” of the daycare center which means that the sale attracts the attention of the more serious and qualified buyers as well as other Business Brokers representing Buyer clients.

For Buyers:

• Reduce or eliminate a sales price that is too high (which typically prevents the transaction from being to be financed by lenders)

• Saves valuable time when pursuing financing with lenders

For Sellers and Buyers:

• Reduce or eliminate adversarial elements of the issue of value between buyers and sellers

• Establish credibility of value with lenders

• Expedite qualification and financing process
