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.

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.
