Education Franchise - Leader In STEM
$ 100,000
Why Choose Code Ninjas? Ranked #1 in the Child Enrichment: STEM Category by Entrepreneur Magazine, Code Ninjas is the largest and fastest growing franchise in teaching children to code. Code Ninjas Headquarters have invested millions to ensure that students are engaged, challenged, learning and connecting with a community of like-minded coders! Innovative and Rapidly Growing Educational Franchise: This franchise is part of a dynamic and expanding network dedicated to empowering the next generation through digital fluency and problem-solving skills. As a leader in STEM education, the franchise offers a diverse range of courses and camps, each designed to ignite children's passion for technology. Students are immersed in a game-based learning environment where they build video games, apps, and robots, all while developing critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration skills. These foundational STEM skills are invaluable as children progress through their education and future careers. The combined population of approximately 14,000 children in Yorba Linda and Placentia represents a significant and growing market for Code Ninja. Here’s why this location offers exceptional growth potential: Advertising Advantage: Nonprofit Partnerships: The franchise has secured partnerships that allow the distribution of 5,000 flyers every month to schools within the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School Districts. These partnerships, approved for the entire 2024-2025 school year at no cost, provide direct access to students and parents without additional advertising expenses. Cost Efficiency: These nonprofit partnerships eliminate the need for traditional advertising fees, allowing resources to be focused on scaling the business and enhancing operations. Local Engagement: In addition to school flyers, partnerships with a nearby karate school and i-Kids preschool help to further increase visibility and attract students through targeted local initiatives. Free Sessions for Students: Always 25 New Students and Parents: Code Ninja Yorba Linda consistently brings in 25 new students and their parents through weekly free sessions, providing a steady stream of potential enrollments and generating strong community interest. Expanded Capacity: Previously limited by a cap of 25 students per session due to staffing constraints, the hiring of 3 full-time senseis has lifted this cap, enabling the center to accommodate more students and significantly boost growth potential. Instructor Team: The instructor team (3 college graduates with CS degrees and 1 center director with extensive experience from her previous role as the Center Director at Code Ninja Newport Beach) is well-equipped to handle larger class sizes and provide specialized support. Immense Growth Potential: With no cap on the number of students per session and multiple channels for local engagement, the growth potential is immense. The strategic partnerships and experienced instructor team make this franchise an excellent investment for anyone looking to make an impact in STEM education. Potential Revenue Streams: Birthday Parties: Opportunity: Hosting birthday parties on non-operating days, such as Sundays. Revenue Potential: $500 per 3-hour party for up to 20 kids, with the potential to host 20 parties per year, generating $10,000 annually. Costs: Minimal operational costs, with 2 instructors paid $20/hour, totaling $120 per party. Net Profit: A highly profitable revenue stream with limited additional costs. First Lego Robotics Club (FLL): Opportunity: Running FLL teams during non-core program hours, maximizing facility use. Team Size: Maximum of 8 participants per team. Revenue Potential: $700/month per team, with 4 teams running for 10 months, generating an additional $28,000 per year. Benefit: This consistent revenue stream aligns well with the franchise’s educational mission and maximizes facility usage during non-operating hours. With the combination of nonprofit partnerships, expanded capacity, and potential revenue streams, Code Ninja Yorba Linda is perfectly positioned for substantial growth, making it an exceptional opportunity for a new owner to capitalize on the local market.

Durable Medical Equipment Retailer w/Industry’s Most Searchable Name!
$ 1,600,000
CF : $ 400,000
This durable medical equipment (DME) retailer is primarily a private pay ecommerce operation with a broad-based product offering that includes mobility products from scooters and power chairs, assist recliners, patient lifts to hearing aids and more. The company has a formidable online presence with its own brand, as well as its fulfillment by Amazon component, that represents about one third of its revenues. The brand opened a retail showroom as an amenity to those customers that may prefer to test products prior to purchase. The company’s brands, which serve 2.7 million members, offers medical equipment rental options, i.e. scooters, lift chairs and patient lifts, through the showroom and online website. This brand has a unique competitive advantage due to its phenomenal domain names, each of which rank high in search results, as well as its broad product line that includes over 500 top brands, 150k products, exclusive relationships with several vendors, and shipping offered throughout North America and Europe! The company’s focuses on competing on customer service-driven sales, due to their vast product knowledge coupled with an actual bricks and mortar showroom. New management may wish to evaluate the company’s retail component, which generates an estimated $10k - $12k/month in sales, in additional to $2.5k to $3k per month in rental revenues, but requires more costly retail space and additional staffing. They may consider actively pursing the smaller residential care facility marketplace with a sales team, developing referral partners and penetrating the eldercare consultant markets. The company focuses on the private pay market, but new owners may choose to pursue the insurance-based market as well. Given their commanding web presence, new management may consider expanding much further into additional product categories that they may only have a cursory presence in. Finally, the firm offers free shipping, but has no done an in-depth analysis of the total costs associated with the shipping, returns, and restocking – all of which may merit additional analysis.

Early Childhood Education - Montessori School
$ 995,000
CF : $ 202,886
This is the second of two schools for sale by the owners. Having envisioned improving Montessori education by addressing the significant lack of modern and authentic preschool options in the Greater Los Angeles area through acquisitions, the Sellers initially purchased four schools. This school, now open for 32 years and acquired in 2022, was the first authentic Montessori in this part of Orange County. After the acquisitions, significant improvements were made. The school was modernized, operational systems improved, and facilities enhanced. The Sellers brought it current with Montessori certification and ensured classes were led by certified Montessori teachers, a core philosophy. Enrollment increased, and the Montessori institution is authentic and is now known for providing the highest quality Montessori pedagogy in the County. Currently, 54 children, ages 2 through 7, are enrolled. More than 90% of students attend 5-day programs for toddlers (including potty training programs), preschool (those aged 2 to 5 years), and Kindergarten to First Grade (for those ages 5 to 7 years), along with enrichment programs. The school is licensed for up to 72 children. The operation employs 12 highly qualified staff. The longtime director oversees six lead teachers and three assistant teachers. NDA is required to secure the comprehensive Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) crafted by ProNova Partners.
