Child Care for sale in Cold Lake

$8,000,000

About this property

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established childcare business together with the underlying commercial real estate in one of Alberta's growing markets. This turnkey investment combines a profitable operating business with valuable real estate ownership, providing immediate cash flow, long-term asset appreciation, and an attractive platform for future growth. The business has built a strong reputation within the community and is supported by an experienced management team, established staff, fully licensed operations, and proven systems and procedures. A purchaser can step into a fully operational facility from day one while avoiding the significant time, cost, and uncertainty associated with developing a new childcare centre. The childcare operation generates over $1 million in annual EBITDA on average and has demonstrated stable historical financial performance. Its established infrastructure, licensing, staffing, and operational processes create a seamless transition for new ownership while offering opportunities for operational optimization and strategic expansion. The inclusion of the purpose-built commercial property further enhances the investment by eliminating many risks associated with new development, including municipal approvals, construction delays, licensing timelines, staffing challenges, and the uncertainty of achieving occupancy. This acquisition represents an exceptional opportunity for regional and national childcare operators, institutional investors, private equity groups, strategic buyers seeking expansion across Alberta, and owner-operators looking to acquire a premium childcare asset. With demand for high-quality childcare continuing to increase throughout the province, acquiring an existing, fully operational platform provides a faster and lower-risk path to growth than pursuing a ground-up development. New ownership will benefit from immediate operating income while retaining the flexibility to implement operational improvements and expansion initiatives that align with its long-term investment objectives. This offering is strictly confidential. Detailed information will be provided only to qualified purchasers following the execution of a Confidentiality Agreement. Prospective purchasers are requested not to contact the owners, management, employees, or customers directly.

Business valuation calculator

SDE is what the business earns an owner who works in it — profit with the owner’s own pay, interest, depreciation and one-off costs added back. EBITDA leaves the owner’s pay in as a cost, because it assumes a manager does the job. Small businesses are usually priced on SDE and larger ones on EBITDA, and mixing them up is how a buyer overpays.

Arithmetic on the numbers you enter — not a valuation, not an appraisal and not financial advice. Real multiples vary enormously by industry, lease terms and how much the business depends on its owner. Have an accountant review the actual books before you rely on any of it.
