Buying a childcare business in Ultimo may be competitive, but this is because childcare in this suburb is a highly lucrative and low risk business. Childcare is an attractive business to be in, but there is one other factor driving demand that we will address. But firstly, you need to be aware of some of the laws and regulations.
In order to buy and run a childcare business in the Inner West, you need to comply with the following regulations and standards:
The most critical item on this list is the National Quality Framework which outlines the standards for early childcare education nationwide. If you are familiar with this framework then you will be able to identify whether the business you are considering buying is compliant. If it isn’t, then you can estimate how much time and money it will cost to ensure that it complies.
As you may know, the childcare business market in The Central Business District is booming. There are two main factors driving this, and the first is that the childcare industry is very profitable, and relatively low risk. Childcare is in high demand, and this demand is extremely stable even when the economy is unstable. Furthermore, in the Sydney childcare market, new entrants (new childcare centres opening in the area) are quite rare.
The second factor relates to Ultimo’s monumental property prices and scarcity of available land. This has presented a huge barrier to new childcare centres opening anywhere in The Central Business District. The high upfront costs coupled with the risk of being a new entrant, the scarcity of large blocks of land that are appropriately zoned and in the right location means that opening a new childcare centre can be challenging. In addition, the approval process for a new childcare business has a notoriously long wait time.
These factors create a market where existing childcare businesses are in high demand. So buying a childcare business in Ultimo is very competitive and you need to ensure you have all the right information and insights that will give you the edge.
