Greetings!
 
As many of you know, there continues to be considerable interest from offshore buyers seeking to acquire K-12 and post-secondary institutions in the US and Canada. And our firm has been instrumental in advising our clients regarding the sale of their school to international buyers. This latest M&A activity was highlighted by Inside Higher Ed in the recent article, “Chinese Companies Seek to Buy U.S. Campuses” , where our firm was quoted on our first-hand experience in this active M&A market.
 
I would like to welcome you once again to the 17th edition of our bi-weekly eZine, HEG’s Inner Circle Private School eNews, highlighting current industry news regarding private school investments, transactions, and related private education news relevant to you. In addition to our periodic email announcements highlighting our new listings, the latest school sales, and upcoming events we are attending, we have taken note of your interests and added our very brief, but informative bi-weekly eZine. Enjoy!
 
If you would like to find out more about the schools we currently represent on the market or our M&A services regarding the sale of your school, contact HEG by email, info@halladayeducationgroup.com or our toll-free number at +1-800-687-1492. All discussions are handled with confidentiality and discretion.
 
To your Success,
 
Douglas Halladay | President | Halladay Education Group
