Sell your college admissions consulting company

 

sell my college admission consulting company

Counseling prospective students on getting into their college of choice is big business. If you have built up a successful college advisory company and are considering whether to retire or do something else, you probably want a company that has experience in selling college consulting companies. Fortunately, Synergy Business Brokers has this experience and offers a free confidential consultation. We will provide you with a complimentary valuation of your company, and you can decide whether it might be the right time for you to consider selling. Keep in mind it is a process, so you want to start before you are ready to retire. On average, it takes 6-12 months to sell a college advisory business, and then typically you would stay on after the sale for a period of 2-12 months to help the new owner transition the business. We have buyers for profitable college counseling companies with annual revenues between $700,000 and $250 million. If your business is this size, there is no fee until your company is sold.

Mergers & Acquisitions in College Consulting

The college advisory industry has been steadily growing and is now over $3 billion/year. The potential buyers include private equity groups, wealthy individuals, and other companies. Many companies that are already in the business want to expand geographically by acquiring a regional college counseling business that is not in their area. In other cases a competitor may be the best candidate to acquire a business in the space due to consolidation and economies of scale. 

We will bring a number of options to each of our clients to give you the best opportunity to maximize your sale price as well as get the best fit for your company in terms of culture and personal fit. 

Sell your college advisory business

Synergy Business Brokers sells college consulting companies in a confidential manner. As with all of our clients, we don’t advertise the name of the business or provide the exact address. All of our potential buyers would need to sign a confidentiality agreement before receiving the specifics. This allows us to do the legwork for you and narrow down the large pool of potential buyers to those that are most likely to be the best fit.

We capitalize on our potential buyer database of 40,000+ that we’ve built up since 2002. Our successful track record allows us to be selective in only taking on assignments that we think we can be effective in selling. We do get a large number of potential buyers and sellers that contact us every day due to the extensive advertising that we do on Google, Bing, Facebook, Bizbuysell, Linkedin, and much more.
