Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about selling your education business with Edugrow.

The typical timeline is 4 to 9 months from mandate to completion. This includes valuation, buyer matching, NDA execution, due diligence, LOI, SPA, and ECDA regulatory approval. Complex deals or those involving lease novation can take longer.

Not until you are ready. Edugrow runs every sale confidentially: buyers sign NDAs before receiving any information, and listings use an anonymous code, never the centre name. Once a deal is agreed, ECDA's rules do require written notice to parents and ECDA before the change takes effect: at least 1 month before a change of key appointment holders such as directors (a share sale), or at least 3 months before a transfer of licence (a sale to a new entity). We plan with you when and how parents and staff are told.

Edugrow uses a combination of EBITDA multiples, enrolment levels, lease terms, location, regulatory standing, and recent comparable transactions. We have 12+ years of Singapore education M&A data to benchmark your centre accurately.

Success fee on the sale, no retainer. Your written valuation is a fixed fee, credited in full against our success fee if you sell with us within 6 months. The first conversation and our written recommendation are free.

It depends, Edugrow is able to draft a neutral Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) that is fair for both parties. In the event lawyers are involved, we can help coordinate between parties to keep the deal on track.

Staff transfer arrangements are negotiated as part of the deal. Most buyers retain existing staff, especially qualified teachers and key operations personnel.

ECDA approval is required for any change of ownership of a childcare centre licensed under the Early Childhood Development Centres Act. Edugrow guides both parties through this process.
