Vocational School in West Texas - Executive Ownership!
$ 1,500,000
This SBA pre-qualified vocational school offers executive ownership, scalability, and an established reputation in one of the larger cities in West Texas! This business helps people improve their lives by giving them a vocation as a barber, and it has a stellar reputation amongst its former students and the greater community. Moreover, the owner has built the curriculum and staff infrastructure over the years so that she doesn't teach a single class--and because of that, a new owner would be able to assume an executive role in the business, which offers the flexibility to scale the business or add it on to your existing operations/portfolio. NOTE: BUSINESS LOCATION WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE UPON SIGNING AN NDA. BUYER NEEDS TO HAVE AT LEAST $150,000 IN LIQUID ASSETS (i.e., CASH) IN ORDER TO BUY THIS BUSINESS. Broker to review your financial ability to buy prior to sending you the CIM. Other Info: The school offers 33-week long training programs for students who want to become a cosmetology operator or a Class A Barber (more details available upon completing an NDA). Currently the owner wishes to retire and hand the business off to someone who will grow it and build on what she already has in place--which is a well-oiled machine that can be scaled to additional locations/markets. This business can be expanded at its current location or it can easily be expanded into new cities/ markets using the infrastructure that is already in place. In fact, it used to have a satellite location in Austin several years ago, but the current owner scaled back to reduce her workload. That said, expansion to new locations could be accomplished without adding much more to the owner's workload if a new owner scales in a way that preserves their role as an executive. https://tworld.com/locations/Texas/southandwesttexas/listings/Vocational-School-in-West-Texas-Executive-Ownership-

Video Overview - https://youtu.be/zifre3kucyo....................... This offering provides an outstanding opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, established, and reputable private school alongside its premium commercial real estate assets in Maine. Operating for decades under a proven, high-demand curriculum, the school serves students from ages 2 through Grade 8 with authentic, mastery-based programs. The school is also a licensed childcare provider, offering daycare for toddlers through Pre-K, as well as before- and after-school care for school-aged children. Benefiting from a recent, state-funded three-classroom physical expansion, the facility is poised for immediate scaling under new ownership. The founding owners are dedicated to a seamless transition and are willing to remain active in advisory and supportive capacities for up to one full school year. • Diversified Revenue: Operational income is augmented through high-enrollment before- and after-school care and extremely popular specialized summer programs. • Capital Expansion: Recipient of a highly selective State Childcare Infrastructure Grant, which fully funded a beautiful, state-of-the-art three-classroom expansion that was recently completed to welcome younger toddler age groups (age 2). • Transition Support: To ensure continuity of culture, accreditation, and parent relationships, the owners are offering up to a full academic year of comprehensive on-site transition assistance.
