Acquire licensed childcare centres and daycares across BC. BizBuy.ca provides hands-on buyer-side consulting for childcare acquisitions throughout Burnaby and Metro Vancouver.
Childcare in BC is in massive structural undersupply. The $10/day federal-provincial program is reshaping demand and economics. Licensed centres are strong acquisitions for owner-operators and increasingly for consolidators.
Burnaby is the second-largest city in Metro Vancouver and one of the strongest SMB acquisition markets in BC. Lower lease costs than Vancouver, strong commercial density (Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed Town Centre, Edmonds), and excellent residential density support a wide range of acquisition targets.
BC daycare licensing is governed regionally (VCH, FH, IH, NH, IsHA). $10/day program participation is reshaping centre economics. Demand is strongest in Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Surrey, North Vancouver, and Victoria.
