What buyers check in diligence
Every buyer asks for three years of financials first. For education or child care businesses, expect questions about:
Enrollment, waitlist and retention by program
State licenses, inspection reports and staff-to-child ratios
Teacher credentials, pay and turnover
Subsidy and tuition mix, and how often rates go up
Multiples are Baton's weighted national averages for education / child care businesses. Your multiple depends on size, growth, customer concentration and how much the business depends on you.
