Offering high-quality childcare in a family atmosphere is what this center does best!  With a dedicated focus on providing safe, loving, and educational care for children is the driving force behind this business.  The environment is bright, creative, and clean.  The education is engaging and entertaining. Ensuring the safety and education of the children from six weeks old to thirteen years is of utmost importance to the owners of this facility.

 

Providing daily care is an outstanding team of knowledgeable and experience teachers.  Providing consistency of care is important to development and many teachers have been with this facility for over 4 years.  The current owner is the director, but this business can certainly run smoothly as an absentee business.  The assistant director is able to be promoted to director, while a teacher can be promoted to assistant director.  This internal promotion will allow a new owner to cover the necessary supervision duties while keeping the increase of expenses low. 

 

This facility has six classrooms, a kitchen, restrooms, and a large play area.  The owner of the building has been supportive of expanding the footprint of the building to increase capacity, if desired.

Valuation Details

The Firm Business Brokerage used a Cash Flow Valuation methodology to determine the purchase price of the business. 

The formula used is as follows:

Cash Flow       x          Prescribed Multiple     =          Fair Market Value

Cash Flow is the sum of business net income plus any owner perks and any non-onward going expenses.

A multiple is prescribed by a 20 question, 100-point parameter ranking system that is used to analyze the current business health. Each question is based on a scale from 1 to 5: 1 being low, 2 below average, 3 average, 4 above average, 5 high. The average of the responses sum is the business’ prescribed multiple.

For this business, a 2017 Cash Flow was used with a prescribed multiple is 3.  With this information, the computation is as follows:

$185,265         x          3          =          $555,795

The Fair Market Value found above positions the business List Price at $560,000.

Funding Example

Purchase Price:                       $560,000

15% Buyer Down Payment:     $84,000

15% Seller Financing:               $84,000

70% Bank Loan:                      $392,000

Seller Financing 5-year term at a rate of 4.50% equals a monthly loan payment of $1,566.

Bank Loan 8-year term at a rate of 6% equals a monthly loan payment of $5,151.

After business expenses and loan payments, a buyer with a 15% down payment of $84,000 would retain a profit of $104,656, which results in a 125% return on investment in the first year.

A lender is required to have a minimum 1.5 coverage ratio for any business loans extended. At a proposed Purchase Price of $560,000 with the terms listed above, the coverage ratio is 2.3. 

Please note that the decision of whether to extend a loan on any sale belongs to the bank, and this document does not guarantee specific terms or verify that financing is available.
