About Childcare Business Exchange

Childcare Business Exchange exists because buying or selling a childcare business is unlike any other business transaction, and it deserves better than a generic business-broker approach. Childcare is a regulated, relationship-driven, government-funded sector where value is shaped by NQS ratings, Child Care Subsidy economics, approved places and long commercial leases — and where confidentiality can make or break a sale. We built a specialist marketplace to do this properly.

We are not a single broker firm. We are an aggregator and lead service that qualifies buyers and sellers and connects them with an independent network of childcare-experienced brokers, lawyers, accountants and finance specialists. That independence is deliberate: it means we can match each buyer and seller with the right people for their situation and location, rather than forcing every transaction through one firm.

For buyers — investors, existing operators, first-time business owners, family groups and private equity — we provide access to opportunities, including off-market businesses, and the expertise to evaluate them properly. For sellers — retiring owners, operators moving on, or those simply exploring their options — we provide a confidential, professional process that protects staff and families and aims for a fair price. The two journeys never collide, but they share the same standard of care.
