 Change of Ownership and Due Diligence

Are you thinking of buying a school?  "When you buy the school, you buy the problems."  This is a well known adage in the industry and many buyers have quickly come to realize how big a mistake they made by proceeding without the help of an expert in these transactions.  Our accreditation consultants have seen countless changes of ownerships where the new owners had no idea of the problems associated with the schools they purchased.

We can help you determine what those problems are.  We are familiar with what all the documents and notes in a school’s accreditation file mean.  Think of it like a home inspection – wouldn’t you rather have an inspector who worked with the architect?  Our accreditation specialists have spent hours working with these documents and combing through institutional files.  Our accreditation consultants know exactly what to look for, and exactly where to find it.
