Description
HIGHLIGHTS:
The business has been established for nearly 40 years and maintains an excellent reputation and high online ratings, which are the key to success for driving schools. Sales and profits have been steady for many years despite the fact the current owner has been mostly absentee. There is a lot of potential for a new owner who is willing to work full-time and grow the business.
PRODUCTS / SERVICES / CUSTOMERS:
Behind-the-wheel Driver Training (97%), Online Drivers Ed (3%), Online Traffic School (< 1% as an affiliate). 80% of customers are teens getting their license for the first time, 20% adults over 18, and some seniors. The primary target market is the peninsula in San Mateo County and the northern part of Santa Clara, County.
MARKETING:
Active marketing includes sponsorships of local high school sports and drama programs, as well as some school newsletters and publications. Paid online marketing includes Google AdWords and a sponsored Yelp listing.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE:
The business is successful based on its nearly 40 years of goodwill built up in the community with its stellar reputation as a safe and professional place to learn to drive. Most of their business comes from word of mouth, or the fact that parents who now have kids, learned themselves at this school.
POTENTIAL:
The business's revenue is based on the number of instructors available to teach lessons. There is enough market demand to hire at least 2 more Instructors, especially with weekend availability. There is also a great opportunity to grow the business through actively contacting more schools for sponsorship programs. Many high schools in the target market area have not been contacted.
SELLER'S ROLE IN OPERATION:
The current owner has another business and only works just 5 hours at this business. He mostly supports the existing staff: dealing with car mechanical and maintenance, as well as doing payroll every 2 weeks and cashing checks once a week.
RECOMMENDED BUYER SKILLS:
No prior experience is required. However, it is helpful to have good people and problem-solving skills, the ability to manage a small number of employees, and some basic marketing skills to continue to grow the business.

When selling your small business, you'll be bombarded with questions - from the brilliant to the ridiculous. You need to be prepared. Here are some of the key questions you can expect to be asked. Tim Cunha (SF Bay Area Business Broker) reviews many of these possible questions from potential buyers.
Looking to buy a small business? There is good news regarding business purchase financing. More financial institutions are coming back into the market with business purchase financing. After years of being selective many lenders are more open to financing deals they would not have in the past years.
Sometimes business brokers just can't win with their clients, because if an offer comes in too fast & too early then they must have lowballed the price & the seller is suspicious, and if not enough offers come in after putting the business on the market - they may look unproductive to their clients.
Pool Halls/Billiards in America, currently is seeing a resurgence, mainly due to pool hall owners catering to a millennial crowd who is growing up with playing pool and other games on their phones and later mingling with others and playing the sport for real. Read about the best tips for buying one!
We're hearing more and more about "crowd funding" through sites like gofundme and kickstarter as a possible way to raise the cash needed to buy a small business. This method of collecting funds has proven successful in other kinds of situations. Could this strategy work when buying a small business?
