Los Angeles County, California
Title IV & VA Approved Cosmetology School-Established Since 2006
$ 2,800,000
CF : $ 722,974
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a premier cosmetology and beauty school franchise with nearly two decades of proven performance in one of the most competitive beauty markets in the country. The school operates under a nationally recognized brand - widely considered the gold standard in the beauty industry - and is consistently the highest rated location among Southern California franchisees. The Business Established in 2006, the school graduates over 200 students annually across cosmetology, barbering, and esthetician programs, who go on to work at top salons across the country. As both a Title IV and VA approved institution, students have access to federal financial aid and GI Bill benefits, a dual approval that broadens the eligible student population and has supported stable, recession-resistant enrollment through multiple economic cycles. Beyond the school itself, the business includes a retail component that sells high-quality beauty products. It currently accounts for 15% of total revenue, presenting an excellent opportunity for expansion. A new owner could continue selling the existing branded products or introduce their own line of beauty supplies, capitalizing on the high-margin nature of the retail segment. In addition, the school also offers beauty services to the public, which are performed by students under the supervision of licensed professionals, providing them with hands-on training while generating additional revenue for the business. Financials The school has consistently generated approximately $4M in annual revenue. The 2022–2023 period saw a temporary revenue reduction when California reduced required cosmetology training hours from 1,500 to 1,000, compressing billable hours and top-line revenue. The school moved quickly to restore the full 1,500-hour program structure, and the rebound was sharp: 2024 performance returned to historical levels, and 2025 revenue reached approximately $4.3M, generating roughly $720K in Seller's Discretionary Earnings. Facility & Assets The school occupies an expansive 15,000-square-foot facility in a high traffic mall. 6 years remain on the lease with the option to extend for 10 years. Rent is a~$44,000/month, and the lease is guaranteed by the franchisor up to $1 million, a highly unusual and valuable provision. The buildout includes over $2 million in leasehold improvements and more than $650,000 in furniture, fixtures, and equipment, making it fully equipped to handle all cosmetology, barbering, dermatology, and esthetics services. All assets will be included in the sale, ensuring a seamless transition for the new owner. Transition After 20 years of ownership, the seller is relocating out of state and has shifted his focus to other ventures. He is committed to a full and structured transition to ensure continuity for staff, students, and the franchise relationship. This is an exceptional entry point into a high-barrier, institutionally credentialed business with a long track record and a strong foundation for continued growth. Qualified buyers must be able to demonstrate $1M+ in liquid capital.

With low rent, high occupancy, and experienced staff in place, this is an ideal acquisition for experienced child care operators, SBA loan-qualified buyers, or private education groups looking to expand.

Torrance, California
Profitable Preschool | Strong SDE | SBA Ready
$ 1,990,000
NDA Link: https://forms.gle/SUmkRX44rsPciBFx9 Well established preschool business available in a highly desirable South Bay coastal submarket. The center serves ages 2 to 5 and operates from a professionally configured campus with multiple age appropriate classrooms, strong community reputation, and consistent referral driven enrollment. The business is largely absentee run, with an experienced on site team managing daily operations. Ownership oversight is limited, creating flexibility for an investor seeking semi passive income or for an operator who wants to step in and drive additional growth. Operations have stabilized following prior discretionary payroll adjustments, and current performance reflects aligned expenses and consistent cash flow. Financials are organized, CPA reviewed, and lender ready. The real estate is owned by the seller and will be leased to the buyer under a newly structured long term triple net lease. Lease terms are defined and designed to provide occupancy stability without the capital requirement of purchasing the property. Key Highlights: • Mostly absentee ownership • Stabilized operations • Strong South Bay demographics • Referral driven enrollment base • Structured curriculum across multiple classrooms • Long term NNN lease in place • SBA compatible financial profile • Operational upside through tuition alignment and cost refinement This opportunity is well suited for experienced operators seeking expansion, strategic buyers consolidating market share, or qualified owner operators pursuing stable cash flow in a supply constrained submarket. Confidential Offering Memorandum, detailed financial package, lease framework, and operational breakdown will be provided upon execution of a Non Disclosure Agreement. Proof of funds and lender qualification required prior to release of sensitive materials. Serious buyers only. Execute the NDA, review the financials, and submit a strong Letter of Intent.

High-Revenue Education Business with Proven Demand
$ 1,800,000
This offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large scale, well established education business with decades of operating history, strong revenue, and a structure that aligns with current buyer and lender expectations. The business has been recently repriced to reflect market reality, positioning it squarely in the execution zone for experienced operators seeking scale, stability, and growth without the capital burden of real estate ownership. This is a proven education platform with real infrastructure and sustained demand. The operation serves a broad age range, supporting long student tenure and consistent enrollment. Annual revenue exceeds $2.0M, driven primarily by private pay tuition. Established systems, curriculum, and staffing are already in place, allowing a buyer to step into operations with minimal disruption. The facility is purpose built for educational use and is secured by a long term lease that provides operational stability while preserving capital for program growth and margin expansion. Buyers can focus resources on optimizing enrollment, improving efficiencies, and enhancing offerings rather than owning real estate. From a financial perspective, the business offers clear add back and normalization potential, particularly related to owner compensation and discretionary expenses. With staffing and infrastructure already scaled, incremental enrollment has a meaningful impact on profitability. This opportunity is best suited for experienced education operators, Montessori platforms, and multi site groups seeking a durable California presence. First time operators may find the scale demanding, while seasoned buyers will recognize the leverage and upside immediately. The seller is realistic, motivated, and focused on a clean, professional transaction. Pricing and structure are aligned with current SBA and conventional financing expectations for qualified buyers. Comprehensive financials, lease details, enrollment data, and operational information are available upon execution of a confidential NDA. Qualified buyers are encouraged to review the materials and move directly toward LOI and purchase agreement discussions. Serious inquiries only.
