With an asking price of $10.9 million, this deal combines a thriving childcare operation grossing $3 million with SDE around $1.3 million, plus the value of owned real estate—though frustratingly, the listing doesn’t break out how much the property is actually worth.Key Highlights:- Asking price of $10.9M for the business + real estate in DFW- Generates $3M in revenue and around $1.3M SDE, though real estate value isn’t broken out- Pre-approved for SBA financing with 10–15% down, but likely needs a split 7(a) and 504 loan- High-end clientele thanks to Primrose’s strong brand, but tough to expand without building a new location- Discussion on sale-leasebacks vs. owning, and how this impacts valuation and cash flow- Connor & Heather debate whether it’s right for a typical buyer—landlord-heavy investment, very hands-on, not ideal for a passive owner- Primrose’s reputation demands owners deeply involved in the community, often with young families themselves
