Day care and childcare business owners report median annual sales of $683,207 and annual owner earnings of $200,000. These figures are based on businesses that have listed their annual revenue and seller's discretionary earnings.
How do I value a day care or childcare business?
Valuing a day care or childcare business involves considering several factors, including annual sales, profit, growth (or decline) trends, and demographic trends of the local market. Brokers, business owners, and business buyers will typically rely on valuation multiples to gauge business value relative to similar businesses in the market. Revenue multiples among childcare businesses listed for sale range from 0.57 to 1.96, with the median at 0.93. Earnings multiples range from 2.16 to 4.36, with the median at 3.17.
