Ownership Transitions

“ We recently had the privilege of working with Shawn and Ben at Aspen Academies on the sale of our childcare business. They were both knowledgeable, communicative and highly dependable. Everything they initially promised up front, ultimately came through in the end; which is exactly what you're looking for when selling a business. One of the reasons why we initially committed to working with Shawn and Ben was because of their strong relationship with multiple lenders. They leveraged their established relationship with Ready Capital to quickly obtain a loan. We were able to close escrow just 15 days after signing the purchase agreement. The entire process was smooth and seamless - we're so glad we made the decision to sell our business to them.”

"When the previous owner invited me to lunch and then shared that he was selling Summit Day School, I went into shock. I felt a mix of uncertainty and concern for what the future would look like. But from the moment Shawn and Ben stepped in as new owners, their transparency, dedication, and genuine care for the staff and children quickly put all my concerns to rest. Shawn and Ben met individually with all twenty teachers to ask for feedback on what was working well, and what could be improved. They then jumped to offer the lead teacher in every classroom a stipend to purchase a new set of classroom supplies. My team and I feel valued, supported, and optimistic for the future."

"I had the pleasure of working with Shawn and Ben on the acquisition of a preschool in Oregon. Both are highly qualified and experienced professionals in the preschool industry. Throughout the process, they demonstrated exceptional knowledge, attention to detail, and a strong commitment to meeting deadlines. They consistently provided all necessary documentation in a timely and organized manner, which made the transaction smooth and efficient. I have full confidence in their abilities and look forward to working with them again as they expand their portfolio and pursue additional preschool acquisitions in the near future."
