THE OPPORTUNITY
Premium preschool franchise in one of the most affluent family suburbs in the Charleston metro. 120+ enrolled students. 19 trained staff. 5.0-star Google rating.
A significant tuition reset has already been communicated to families and is locked for the coming academic year. At current enrollment with no growth required, projected Year 1 EBITDA is $180K. The hard conversation is done. The buyer inherits the benefit.
AT A GLANCE
Asking Price: $550,000 (below new franchise build cost)
Core Program: 120+ enrolled students
Additional Capacity: 35+ open seats
Projected Year 1 EBITDA: $180K (owner-operator)
Staff: 19 including director
Facility: 6,500 SF, 6 classrooms, anchored retail center
Google Rating: 5.0 stars
Financing: SBA eligible
THE MARKET
Affluent suburban market where families intentionally choose premium preschool. Median household income well above $100K. Population projected to grow 3.9% through 2029.
Families here are value-sensitive, not price-sensitive. They research 3-5 schools before choosing. They expect premium in return for premium pricing. And they stay.
WHY THIS PRICE
At $550K you get 120+ enrolled students, 19 trained staff, a locked tuition reset, 5+ years of brand trust, and a 5.0-star Google position. The 3.1x EBITDA multiple reflects an inflection point, the buyer enters after the pricing correction, not before it.
Additional afternoon capacity and summer repricing provide upside beyond the base case.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Franchise rights, curriculum, and training materials. All FF&E. Current enrollment and staff. Lease assignment in anchored retail center. Up to 90 days transition support. SBA eligible.
IDEAL BUYER
You've operated in regulated childcare or education environments. You understand enrollment pacing, staffing elasticity, and parent trust. You see a locked tuition reset as an inflection point,
not a risk. Owner-operator deal.
NEXT STEPS
Qualified buyers receive a Confidential Information Package with full financials, projections, and operational detail. NDA required before disclosure.
