What does an education M&A advisor do?

An education M&A advisor prepares the valuation story, buyer list, teaser, information memorandum, process timetable, regulatory change-of-control plan, and negotiation strategy for selling a school, RTO, tutoring chain, corporate training provider, or EdTech platform.

How should an education owner start a sale process?

Start with a confidential valuation inquiry. Lyndon Advisory reviews revenue, country, education sub-sector, regulatory status, buyer relevance, and likely deal size before deciding whether a structured sell-side process is worth pursuing.

Education M&A Advisor for Schools, RTOs & Training

Q: Why is education M&A different from general business sales?

Education M&A is more regulated than many sectors. Buyers diligence accreditation, licensing, enrolment quality, staff retention, funding exposure, curriculum IP, and change-of-control approvals before completing a transaction.

Where to start

Selling an education business is a regulatory and buyer-fit problem.

Schools, RTOs, tutoring chains, corporate training providers, and EdTech platforms require more than a generic buyer list. Buyers diligence accreditation, licensing, enrolment quality, staff retention, funding exposure, curriculum IP, and whether change-of-control approvals can be managed without damaging confidence.
