The Reason

You built something valuable. Now there’s a real way to sell it.

Fragmented brokers. Opaque pricing. Institutional buyers with structural advantages. Most childcare owners don’t list because they don’t believe they have a real exit. OFF MKT is the structured, data-driven marketplace that changes that.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before you list.

What is OFF MKT?
OFF MKT is a private, data-driven marketplace that centralizes every licensed childcare operator in the country and connects sellers with qualified, verified buyers — confidentially.
Why sell a childcare center off-market?
Listing publicly signals distress, unsettles staff and families, and invites lowball offers. An off-market process protects your identity and surfaces competitive offers without the noise.
Who can list on OFF MKT?
Any licensed agent or owner can list. We encourage owners to work with agents they feel comfortable with and that know how to transact childcare transactions.
How do buyers gain access to listings?
Buyers apply and are screened and NDA-verified before they ever see a listing. Only qualified operators, groups, and acquirers reach your information.
What types of listings are available?
Single centers, multi-site operations, real-estate-included deals, and business-only opportunities across every market we cover.
Can I list if I only own the business, not the real estate?
Yes. Many of our listings are business-only. We structure the deal around what you actually own and what you’re looking to transfer.
Is OFF MKT a real estate brokerage?
No. OFF MKT is a marketplace and data platform. We connect verified buyers and sellers and structure the process — we don’t act as your broker.
What makes OFF MKT different from other listing sites?
Other sites are public feeds. OFF MKT is a confidential, structured marketplace with the most complete verified childcare buyer pool and ownership database nationwide. OFF MKT simplifies the confidentiality process without sacrificing security and provides visibility of your offering to the entire market.
Is my listing kept confidential?
Discretion is built into every step. Your listing isn't posted to any public feed, and your identity and details stay private until you decide to engage a specific buyer. You control what's shared and when.
What does it cost to list?
A listing is $1,000 for the first 60 days, then $250/month until it sells. Buyer access is by application. No hidden fees and no success commissions.
How is my information protected?
Every buyer is screened and NDA-verified, sensitive details are gated until you engage, and you control exactly what each party can see and when.
What if my center isn’t performing well?
Underperforming centers still attract operators looking for turnaround and expansion. A structured, confidential process helps you reach them without signaling distress.

The data-driven marketplace for childcare businesses.
