(AA) Primrose School Franchise – selling for $10.9M?

Hi folks, Will here from the Acquisitions Anonymous team, where we look at the good, the bad, and the ugly of business listings. Today's episode dives into a high-stakes deal for a Primrose School franchise in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, complete with real estate. In this episode, Connor and Heather break down the details of this franchise resale, asking a whopping $10.9 million. The school is reported to generate $3 million in revenue with an SDE (Seller's Discretionary Earnings) of $1.3 million. However, the real estate value isn't clearly outlined, raising some eyebrows about the asking price. With the franchise's strong reputation, the hosts discuss who the ideal buyer might be and the complexities involved in financing such a deal. What does it really mean to buy a business like this, and what should a buyer be wary of? Takeaways: - The asking price includes both the franchise and the real estate, but the exact value of the property is unclear, which is a red flag. - This franchise is pre-approved for SBA financing, but the buyer should be ready for a mix of loans and potential complications. - Owning a Primrose School typically requires being very involved in the community, which could deter passive investors. - The growth potential is limited without building additional locations, making it crucial for buyers to evaluate their long-term strategy. - The high-end clientele means higher tuition but also requires careful market analysis to avoid overpricing.
