Business Summary
Just when you thought that all the children's products had evolved, a new type of child care facility opens. Offering you "on demand" play care for up to a maximum of 4 hours at a time the concept was founded on two principles: 1.) provide a safe, fun environment where a child can meet and play with new friends, or participate in planned activities; and 2.) provide the busy parent (and who isn't nowadays) spontaneous, yet professional, child care services at "baby-sitter" prices.
Operating out of a 1,200 s.f. fairy tale setting and staffed by "moms", this business comes complete with all licensing, equipment and toy inventory, (puppets and theatre, dolls and houses, trains and pirate ships, etc.). The facility is primarily open Monday thru Friday 9AM- 5PM, but there are also weekend events such as pizza/birthday parties and "football" game parties. This play-care facility only allows a maximum of 15 children at any one time to maintain an easily controllable, fun, "warm and cozy" atmosphere.
The Seller has engineered a well-thought out, streamlined measure of fixed expenses, and this is a competitive advantage in the "daycare" marketplace. Entering its fourth month of operation, the daycare facility has surpassed projections every week since its inception. The Seller would like to spend more time on her farm with her husband and family of two young children. Thus, sadly, she has decided to sell.
Although still in a start up mode, the selling price of $150,000 appears fair, based upon a well-documented past performance (however brief), and meeting or exceeding even the most robust projections. When compared to similar concepts, involving day-care, parties, etc. – we believe none are as well compiled, and this investment is much less costly, to boot!
The owner has truly found a niche in the ever expanding child-care industry … a true, ground-floor opportunity.
