The
Absolute Best Way to Buy a Daycare Center...
It
is highly recommended that you read this entire page.
We
help people buy Daycare Centers. And we're good at it.
We'll respect your interests and we expect the same from you.
We've worked with Buyers, Sellers, and Brokers all over the
U.S. and there are 2 ways we can assist you in buying a Daycare
Center through DaycareCentersForSale.com.
- Wait
until you see one appear here on DaycareCentersForSale.com
that just so happens to be in your exact area of preference
and that just so happens to match your financial parameters.
Don't hold your breath waiting on that to happen. The odds
are against you for a simple and singular reason - less than
10% of those for sale are publicly advertised.
- Register
as a Buyer on sites like DaycareCentersForSale.com that
provide expertise in buying a Daycare Center.
- SERIOUS
BUYERS:
This is, without a doubt,
THE BEST WAY to find what you're looking for.
We do a targeted search for you in your area. It takes us anywhere from a few weeks to a few months to complete
a search. We don't charge up front fees for a targeted search but we do get paid what your CPA would
likely refer to as "OPE" or out-of-pocket-expenses that are necessary for us to incur during a search.
Prior to performing a search (which we will perform ONLY for those who are serious about buying/owning
a Daycare Center) we make a preliminary assessment of what we determine the search will entail,
expenses involved, how long it might take, likelihood of success, etc. NOTE THAT WE WILL NOT PERFORM A SEARCH
FOR ANYONE WHO WILL NOT, AT LEAST, PAY FOR OUR ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES - NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.
Our actual out-of-pocket expense for doing this search for you usually
amounts to about $175 to $200 to approach about 200 potential
sellers of Daycare Centers, about $350 to $400 to approach about 400 potential
sellers of Daycare Centers, and about $800 to $900 to approach about 1,000 potential
sellers of Daycare Centers. Again, we will not perform
this search for you if you are not willing to reimburse
us for our actual out-of-pocket expenses. However,
if and only if you are a reasonable, serious
buyer, we will invest a reasonable amount our time
in working to help you purchase a Daycare Center. We're willing to invest our time in a search
for a client, but not our money.
The amount of actual reasonably priced Daycare Centers
that result from this search varies. We've had results
ranging from 1 - 5 up to 10 - 15. NOTE THAT THESE ARE
NOT DAYCARE CENTERS THAT ARE ALREADY ON THE MARKET
and they have typically not been "shopped" in the marketplace
like others that you see advertised in newspapers or
on the internet. If or until you decline a particular
Daycare Center for sale that is found through this
search, you are the only one who finds out that
it is for sale.
And...
Sometimes we represent sellers of Daycare Centers for
sale that we do not immediately post on this site.
Sometimes we might not post that particular listing
at all because we might already have one or more potential
buyers for it. If we are performing a targeted search
for you, you also get to be either the or one
of the first buyers to have access to that new
listing.
And...
When we perform this type of service for you, you also
get the benenfit of having a listing posted on the
"Registered Buyers" page. As you can see by viewing
it, that page lists all Registered Buyers like you
who we have or are performing searches for. In order
to inform potential sellers of Daycare Centers in your
area, a Buyer listing is posted for your city/metro
area. All potential sellers who see that there is a
potential Buyer in their area complete a questionaire
which provides you with information about their Daycare
Center without, due to issues of confidentiality, revealing
the identity of the Daycare Center. If you are then
interested in that particular business, then Non-Disclosure
Agreements are signed and we manage the introduction
of the two parties.
Fees
We have several different ways we structure our fees depending on
what service(s) we provide to the client. We are flexible and we are reasonable.
As you would expect, because of who we are and what we do, we have numerous
advantages over regular business brokers which, quite simply, affords us more success
at helping owners sell and buyers find what they are looking for. Our success rates and
advantages also allow us to be more cost-efficient in how we charge our clients. Put frankly,
we usually don't charge for our fees as regular business brokers do. Again, this is because
we specialize and have efficiencies that they don't.
We don't charge up front fees but we do get paid the amount of what your CPA would likely refer to as "OPE"
or out-of-pocket-expenses that are necessary to incur during a search. Prior to performing a search (which we will
perform ONLY for those who are serious about buying/owning a Daycare Center) we make a preliminary
assessment of what we determine the search will entail, expenses involved, how long it might take, likelihood of
success, etc. WE WILL NOT PERFORM A SEARCH FOR ANYONE WHO WILL NOT, AT LEAST, PAY FOR
OUR ACTUAL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES - NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.
What We Deliver To You
We deliver to you only those serious potential sellers
of Daycare Centers for sale which might match the various
business characteristics and financial parameters
that you have pre-instructed us to locate. You will
not be bothered by those that are clearly not what
you are looking for. We have plenty of motive to perform
for you because if we don't, we don't make money! We
have to help you acquire what you are looking for because
it's the way we earn a living. Put simply, our success
TRULY depends on yours.
More important stuff...
The
chances are very small of you finding the exact type
of business in your area of choice through the typical
channels that most buyers search (ie: newspapers, the
internet, brokers, etc). Most buyers give up on their
search because most brokers won't inform them of several
VERY IMPORTANT facts. Consequently, some buyers compromise
on what they really want. We hide nothing, we're very
frank, and very transparent. You get nothing but reality
from us.
You MUST understand and accept this fact: The most effective
way of finding a quality Daycare Center to buy at a reasonable
price is through a targeted search done by those with
expertise, knowledge, and connections to the industry.
Searching general business brokerage websites, the newspapers,
and the "business opportunities" sections of magazines
generally yields results that have been shopped and shopped
and shopped in the marketplace and that keep getting
rejected by other potential buyers. Ask yourself why.
We know the answer quite well. Ask us and we'll tell you.
It has been
speculated that less than 10% (some say less than 5%) of daycare centers
that are for sale, can be found in either the newspapers
or on the internet. This is because of several reasons:
- Many
broker-seller relationships include confidentiality
agreements which often prohibit the broker from being
able to publicly advertise the Daycare Center for sale.
Experienced professionals in the industry also know
that typically, for the results it produces, print
advertising is expensive. And it is becoming more so.
There has been a steady decline in print advertising
for Daycare Centers for sale and it is continuing to
decline.
So what does this mean? Simple. There are more and
more Daycare Centers selling on a regular basis but
knowing that one is (or might soon be) for sale is
becoming harder and harder to find out about.
- VERY
IMPORTANT: Most Daycare Centers are sold without the
public knowing. They're marketed directly to and sold
to existing owners of Daycare Centers. The public,
which includes most potential buyers who are NOT
currently in the Daycare business but ARE WANTING to
be, never gets the exposure to the Daycare Center
which is for sale. Primarily for reasons of confidentiality,
it's all done privately.
- Although
not all the time, many times those that you do
see advertised in the newspaper or on the internet
are the one's that have been "picked over" and that
have been seen by hundreds if not thousands of people.
Again, there are, of course, exceptions to the rule
(but don't hold your breath waiting for the exception
to happen).
So you think you're serious and you wonder what's next?
Well, that's your decision. We know what we're doing. Are
you serious about buying or not?
If you are, then register as a Buyer and
then feel free to contact us. If you are seriously interested in a targeted search, we'll need to spend a little time
talking with you about what you are looking for. After that, we do some minor preliminary research to somewhat determine
whether or not a search in your area is viable. If it is, we'll determine what our out-of-pocket expenses will be.
That amount is what we'll need from you to get the search started. After we receive that amount, it then takes about
3 to 6 business days to get the process underway. Again, register as a
Buyer and then contact us for further details.
