We
wanted to thank you for all of the help you gave
us before, and during the selling of our Childcare.
As you know, this was an emotional decision for
us to sell our Center, and the kindness and understanding
you all showed us was wonderful. We found that
your expertise in managing the process between
the buyer and seller was handled very well. Although
we frequently had questions, you always had time
to find the answers for us.
We
thank you for the personal touch. Brad, you were
wonderful, and Katie and I really consider you
a friend, as well as a fabulous business associate.
We
would highly recommend you to anyone who choses
to buy or sell a Childcare Facility. BFS' attention
to detail has been superb and greatly appreciated
in such a detailed business transaction.

New
Owner: Day-care buyout won't change things
Franklin-Three
local day-care centers have been sold to a Kentucky-based
company looking to broaden its reach in the child-care
industry by expanding into Middle Tennessee.
The company also purchased the For Kids Only
day care in Antioch.
Mark
Bush, Chief Operating Officer
said employees
at the recently purchased day cares shouldn't worry
about losing their jobs. There are about 100 employees
among the four day-care centers, which serve about
500 children.
The
sales were brokered by Barnett Financial Services,
a national merger and acquisition firm that specifically
works in the child-care industry

Thank
you and the staff at BFS for all of your diligence
in the sell of our childcare center. I know our
situation was unique considering we wanted to sell
the center, but we needed a buyer that was willing
to temporarily lease part of the facility back
to my printing company. I now have plenty of time
to find a new building for my printing company
without interrupting service to my printing customers.
I am pleasantly surprised that BFS was able to
obtain both goals.
Because
of your attentiveness we found a cashflow error
that had caused the company to be under priced.
When we corrected the error, it allowed us to
increase our asking price beyond our original
asking price. We were able to proceed with the
selling process with very little delay.
While
we were concerned during some of the negotiation
process, you stuck by us and got us a favorable
deal despite how bleak things looked. Thanks again
for all of your help.

...Cheryl
and I would like to thank you for all you have
done in our quest to sell our day care center.
The professionalism shown by you and your staff
was obvious from the start, and continued through
the sale.
Your
vast network of buyers and sellers could not
be compared to anything we could've done on our
own. We were so pleased you found a buyer who
shared the same childcare philosophies we have.
It's comforting to know the sale of our business
was in such capable hands.

Fletchers
Sell Day Care Center to Waterloo Couple
The
$1.365 million sale includes the building on
East Lake Centre. Ed and Mona Fletcher have sold
the business to Ron and Pat Caywood
Ron
Caywood said employees and parents should notice
no change in the services provided. The Caywoods
learned of the prospective sale through a search
firm [BFS] that had previous contact with the
Fletchers. The Caywoods decided they liked the
center and told the [BFS] representative they
liked what they had seen
The two couples
realized they had similar philosophies about
day care
That experience
eased the
decision-making process for the Fletchers.

| ...Thanks
for the handling of the sale of Fletcher's Daycare
Center. We appreciate all the extra attention and
understanding which you gave us to make this happen.
We felt very pleased with the result of the process.
We are especially pleased and impressed with the
way the deal was kept so quiet and also with finding
us such a capable buyer and operator. You made it
clear that whatever we needed was most important.
It was reassuring to call you with any question or
concern, knowing that you will have an answer or
several other options. Everyone we caused to come
in contact with you, from our staff, the buyers and
our attorney, all stated that you are always very
professional and efficient. This was also our experience
throughout the process with your entire staff. Once
again, thanks for making this happen so easily. We
both feel that without BFS this would not have been
nearly as pleasant of an experience.

We
felt that our center would be very hard to sell
being that we were fairly new…We were amazed
that it happened in a shorter time than we expected.
Not only did you sell it for us, but also negotiated
an exceptional price…You walked us through
everything step by step…you performed above
and beyond our expectations…
