Selling or Leasing your Childcare.

Selling or leasing has been on your mind, but there’s so much to consider.

The paperwork, the legal requirements, the price, the marketing; they’re all topics that you will need to navigate at some stage. You may be wondering how or where to start. It can be overwhelming, and you don’t want to, unknowingly, skip any vital steps.

Perhaps you do have the know-how, but lack the time. Life is busy and there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done, as well as try and sell or lease your centre.  

That’s where we come in.

We not only take away the hassle, but we help you sell or lease for the right price to the right people. We know all the ins and outs of selling, the paperwork, the licenses, and so on. Our 20 years in this business have given us a solid track record. Our database of potential buyers alone boasts over 10,000, and that’s just the beginning. Our proven marketing strategies will help you get the results you need, without breaking the bank. Our commissions are reasonable, and you don’t pay a cent until your centre is sold/leased.  

How it works

 

 Initial Consultation

 

  • Take a look through our website and if you have questions, feel free to email or call Kevin to discuss your business or property or answer any questions you may have.

  • If you have a Childcare Business, please complete this Preliminary Information Form. If you have a childcare site or childcare centre for lease please call Kevin on 0409 878 352 or use our Contact page.

  • We gather a range of information, supporting documents and financial data (as appropriate) from you in our initial consultation phase.

  • We pride ourselves on being ethical and transparent. Based on our professional expertise, we will always advise you of a realistic expected sales value.

  • We use the following options depending on your preference:

    Nominated asking price targeting all potential buyers

    Expression of Interest over a nominated figure targeting all potential buyers

    'Off Market' targeting only large corporate buyers.

    We take all the risk. NO SALE = NO FEE

  • Childcare Sales Australia requires a signed agency agreement by law, and cannot commence marketing a property until an agency agreement is signed by the vendor.

 
 
 

The Sales & Marketing Process

  • Listing Information Form

  • The Information Memorandum (IM) is a detailed document about your Childcare property.

    1. The property is listed on our website.

    2. A broadcast email is sent to our extensive database providing basic details without identifying the property.

    3. Interested parties complete our online Confidentiality Agreement with their details in order to receive the Information Memorandum.

    4. Owners receive weekly enquiry reports via email.

  • Many owners don’t like agents coming through the centre conducting inspections, as it can potentially alert staff or parents of a potential sale. We have several options available to conduct inspections unobtrusively and without suspicion by staff, which include:

    • Mock “Parent or grandparent inspections” by a buyer during opening hours

    • Weekend or after hours inspections by the buyer

  • Childcare Sales Australia will immediately communicate any written offers received to the owners. Part of this process is ensuring we maximise the outcome for you, the owner.

  • Once the best written offer is negotiated by us and accepted by the owners, we prepare a document called a Heads of Agreement. The Heads of Agreement outlines all of the property's details, seller/lessor, buyer/lessee, legal parties for both, prices, special conditions etc. This helps to reduce legal fees once placed in the solicitors' hands to draw up the Contract of Sale or Agreement For Lease/Lease and also speeds the process.
