Valuation context
An estimate from the illustrative Child care SDE band (Band source: NewHands teaching assumption — illustrative planning range, not a market transaction comp dataset), not an appraisal. Customer concentration was not on the listing, so that adjustment was left at zero.
Low
$552,000
Midpoint
$744,000
High
$984,000
Asking price is $36,000 above the midpoint estimate (3.25× trailing SDE).
- Start with the illustrative Child care SDE band (NewHands teaching assumption): 2.40× to 4.20×, midpoint 3.20×.
- Apply disclosed adjustments totaling -0.10 to each end of the band, then floor the multiple at 0.80×.
- Multiply seller's discretionary earnings of 240,000 by the adjusted band. That is the business value, not the real estate.
- Real estate is not included, so nothing is added after the multiple.
Estimate only. This is not an appraisal, a fairness opinion, or financial advice. NewHands is not a broker. A buyer, lender, or quality-of-earnings reviewer will use their own numbers.
