We want to help you buy or sell your private school.

If we accept the school, we'll extend you our consulting agreement, which outlines that we only get paid when you get paid, and the agreed asking price for when we go to market. We welcome your attorney to review this and we have worked hard to make this agreement seller-friendly.

AGREEMENT

THE School SALES process FOR SELLERS

Our marketing team puts together our state-of-the-art package for buyers. We've spent time perfecting what needs to be in the marketing materials and making the design the best in the industry to make it stand out.

MARKETING

THE School SALES process FOR SELLERS

Simultaneously with the marketing package, part of our process of setting your school up for sale is that we organize SBA 7a financing for potential buyers. We have a network of lenders for this, and it allows us to reach a much wider buyer pool.

FINANCING

THE School SALES process FOR SELLERS

We list your school for sale by:

1. We send it to our buyer database. Generally, 70% of our deals get sold to our existing database.

2. We send it out to our marketing channels. We have 13 different marketing channels we use to find people looking for companies to acquire just like yours.

3. We look for synergistic buyers: we create a target list and contact them directly.

CAMPAIGN

THE School SALES process FOR SELLERS

All interested parties submit an offer (LOI) and you decide on the best buyer depending on price, terms, and their background. The winning buyer then gets a due diligence period (typically 60 days) to verify what we have claimed about the business.

OFFERS

The buyer will be given an exclusive period to go through tax returns, bank statements, and operations with you to verify that the business is as claimed. Typically this process is 60 days, but it can go as fast as 30 days or as long as 90 days.

DUE DILIGENCE

The buyer is responsible for drafting the purchase agreement. They will send a draft, and your attorney will review this to make sure you are protected. We have attorney referrals for you if you need one.

CONTRACT

The fun part! We sign everything, and our third party escrow holds the buyers' cash until your business assets are transferred. Then escrow wires you your funds, and the deal is closed!

SALE

THE School SALES process FOR SELLERS

After the deal closes, there is a transition period (1-3 months) where you help the new owner learn about the school, and change the accreditation, certifications, and other pertinent items from you to the new owner. We help you navigate through this transition process.
