Most of our transactions close within six to ten months from engagement. Smaller boutique programs sometimes close faster; larger multi-site portfolios with included real estate generally take longer because of financing and diligence timelines.
Every listing is published blind — no school name, photograph, or identifying detail. Prospective buyers sign a non-disclosure agreement and are financially pre-qualified before identifying information is released. Tours occur after-hours or on weekends.
Valuations begin with a multiple of seller discretionary earnings but are adjusted significantly by enrollment consistency, staff tenure, waitlist depth, and whether real estate is part of the transaction. We provide a complimentary preliminary valuation as part of our intake process.
No. Many of our sellers retain the underlying real estate and lease it to the buyer. We work through the structural tradeoffs with you before going to market.
