An exceptional opportunity for an experienced ECE operator to secure a long-established, well-regarded centre with turnaround potential. This urban centre has a licence roll of circa 45, enjoys consistently high occupancy, excellent reputation and strong community ties.
Currently fully managed, the centre operates around break-even due to high staffing ratios, with wages at approximately 78% of revenue. A hands-on owner-operator could immediately streamline operations and restore strong profitability.
Both the ECE business and the freehold land and buildings are offered together on favourable terms. The business can be acquired immediately, with staged settlement options for the property, including a lease-to-own structure and finance support for approved purchasers.
Key highlights:
• Two adjoining properties, separately housing Over 2’s and Under 2’s
• Consistently high occupancy and active waiting list
• Excellent reputation and strong ERO history
• Experienced, long-serving team in a homely setting
• Scope to increase roll via expansion or reconfiguration
• Property offered at recent registered valuation with flexible settlement options
This is a compelling opportunity for a skilled operator or investor seeking a turnaround with solid near-term upside.
Asking Price: $1,295,000 (including $1,200,000 land & buildings + $95,000 ECE centre)
