Childcare Company Evaluations
BFS® provides FREE professional business evaluations for early education companies.
BFS® has been providing exceptionally precise evaluations for early education companies for over 30 years. When BFS® provides an evaluation, it will not only pass the highest standards of business owners, but it will also pass the test of CPA firms, tax attorneys and banks.
We know that it is a must to calculate the market value of your early education company correctly, so BFS® doesn’t use vague terms like earnings or cash flow. We utilize more specific terms that give you and your advisors (CPAs / attorneys / bankers) the precise answers you need.
BFS® provides two types of current market evaluation services for your early education company.
The first is a FREE market evaluation.
This process is abbreviated, conservative and accurate. If you have 20 minutes, a copy of your most recent tax return and the benefits (health insurance, company car...etc.) you received from your early education company, call us at 1-800-467-1774 and we will provide your free current market evaluation. There is no cost, no obligation and no sales pitch. We provide the service and answer your questions…period.
The second is a very discreet on-site meticulous evaluation in which BFS® determines the correct current market value for your early education company and verifies this valuation with a complete BFS® portfolio on your company.
Who will benefit the most from our current market evaluation services? Any owner of an early education company (childcare, preschool, Montessori school or private elementary school) who is working on any of the following actions will benefit from our current market evaluation services:
A. Exit/Financial planning
B. Estate planning
C. Tax planning
D. Selling for maximum after-tax profits
All these activities are different, but it is especially important to have the best information possible when you are engaging in these life-altering decisions.
There are some truly talented professionals in our industry, but the wrong advisor can cost you thousands to millions of dollars. Mistakes made by companies who do not understand evaluation standards, tax returns, basic accounting or industry acceptable practices can cost the company owner large amounts post-tax proceeds. Don’t settle for anyone who is not an absolute proven early education professional. ASK for references.
We are sensitive to the importance of discretion for the owners and executives of childcare companies and schools. Our on-site evaluations are conducted very discreetly and are completely unobtrusive so your staff members and parents will not know the reason for our visit. Evaluations do not include real estate.
