The difference between a CVA
and a broker’s “ballpark”<\/em><\/h2>

Most childcare business brokers estimate value using simple revenue or EBITDA multiples \u2014 a quick calculation that may or may not reflect the real characteristics of your childcare business. A Certified Valuation Analyst uses a disciplined, documented methodology that accounts for your specific financial structure, market position, real estate situation, and risk factors.<\/p>

When an experienced buyer or PE-backed acquirer’s due diligence team reviews your asking price, they are not looking at a multiple \u2014 they are building a discounted cash flow model and stress-testing every assumption. A CVA – Certified Valuation Analyst knows the valuation must withstand exactly that scrutiny. A broker’s quick estimate or use of simple “rules-of-thumb” may not be through enough.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

What drives childcare business value \u2014<\/span>
and what reduces it<\/em><\/span><\/h2>

Childcare businesses are valued differently from most other businesses. Understanding what buyers look for \u2014 and what they use to negotiate prices down \u2014 is the foundation of any credible valuation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

EBITDA and profitability<\/h3> <\/div>\n

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization \u2014 adjusted for owner compensation and non-recurring items \u2014 is the primary basis for most valuations. How your books are kept matters enormously here.<\/p><\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Licensed capacity utilization<\/h3> <\/div>\n

How much of your licensed capacity are you filling? A center at 90% capacity is more valuable \u2014 and commands a premium \u2014 over one at 60%, even with the same revenue.<\/p><\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Payer Mix<\/h3> <\/div>\n

Private-pay tuition is valued more highly than subsidy-dependent revenue. The proportion of your revenue from each source affects your multiple materially.<\/p><\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Licensing history and star ratings<\/h3> <\/div>\n

A clean licensing record and high quality ratings in your state\u2019s quality system reduce buyer risk and support higher valuations.

Enrollment trends<\/h3> <\/div>\n

Stable or growing enrollment signals a healthy business. Declining enrollment \u2014 even at a profitable center \u2014 raises buyer concerns about sustainability and future earnings.<\/p><\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Lease terms and real estate<\/h3> <\/div>\n

Long remaining lease terms are a liability. Short terms create uncertainty.

Staff tenure and management<\/h3> <\/div>\n

Income that doesn\u2019t appear on your tax returns cannot be used to support your valuation.
