K-12 Textbook Wholesaler
Call/Email
CF : $ 1,100,000
Accepting indications of interest until January 30, 2026. This is a well-established wholesaler of quality, pre-owned affordable textbooks to K-12 public schools, private schools, school districts, and charter schools everywhere. The fundamentals of the pre-owned textbook business are strong. They're less expensive: a big plus for districts and schools (public and private) impacted by budget cuts. They're required: schools teach an established curriculum for 5-10 years, which means using a consistent set of textbooks over a long period of time. Several states even have laws requiring students have access to two sets of textbooks: one at home and one in-class (or on campus). Schools are repeat business: every year, a new class of kids adds wear, tear, and destruction to last year’s books. Finally, some schools simply prefer the material as presented by older textbooks. Over the last 20+ years, the company has built a robust customer database of 750+ schools and districts and currently owns and operates a warehouse with 110,000+ textbooks in stock. The business sells both wholesale direct and via e-commerce platforms (85%/15% split). The business enjoys outstanding cash flow and profitability in this strongly seasonal business (May through October). For those interested in purchasing real estate, the warehouse is also available to purchase, and was recently appraised at $2.49M. This opportunity that checks all the boxes: outstanding profitability, repeat customers, huge growth potential, is recession resistant, has repeat business, and the opportunity to acquire ideally suited real estate. Next Steps We are currently accepting Indications of Interest (IOIs). To qualify, buyers must provide a Buyer Bio / Capability Sheet and Proof of Funds. Must have the capacity and experience to smoothly and efficiently execute the transaction process; busy season begins mid-May. No absentee investors, please. The ideal buyer will have the experience to build a sales team and implement systems at scale to take the business to the next level. Complete the contact form to speak to the listing broker, execute an NDA, and receive the information package.

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.

Licensed Preschool & RE | Affluent Demographics | SBA Eligible
$ 2,700,000
Description A rare opportunity to acquire both the business and real estate of a licensed preschool and early childhood education facility in one of Southern California’s most affluent, family-oriented communities. With nearly 90 licensed slots, prime demographics, and an irreplaceable location, this offering presents substantial upside for operators, investors, and education groups seeking scale in a high-demand market.. Property Overview The facility features more than 4,500 square feet of interior space situated on over half an acre, with multiple classrooms, administrative offices, restrooms, and well-designed outdoor play areas. The site is purpose-built for early education and meets licensing requirements, with zoning that allows for educational use and flexibility for other commercial applications. The property’s visibility, accessibility, and presence in a land-constrained market make it highly attractive to both operators and investors. Business Overview This preschool has served the local community for more than two decades, earning a trusted reputation and strong online reviews. Current operations run below the licensed capacity, which provides a clear opportunity for new ownership to expand enrollment and significantly increase revenues. The combination of brand goodwill, established licensing, and operational infrastructure offers a strong foundation for a buyer to build upon. Growth Potential * Enrollment Expansion: With capacity for nearly 90 children, enrollment growth represents the most immediate opportunity to boost gross revenue by 40–50%. * Tuition Optimization: Current rates can be aligned with prevailing market benchmarks in this affluent trade area, increasing per-child revenue. * Program Enhancements: Demand supports the introduction of enrichment programs such as STEM, arts, music, language, and before/after school care. * Facility Upgrades: Targeted investments in classrooms, playgrounds, and curb appeal could modernize the facility and attract premium-paying families. * Subsidy Participation: Increasing participation in California child care subsidy programs (CSPP, CCTR, CACFP) could generate additional, stable revenue streams. Investment Highlights * Licensed capacity for nearly 90 children. * Purpose-built 4,500+ SF facility on a 0.56-acre parcel. * Over 20 years of continuous operation with strong community reputation. * Prime demographics with affluent, dual-income households and high educational spending. * Zoning allows educational use with potential for broader commercial applications. * Business and real estate offered together, eligible for SBA 7(a) or conventional financing. * Attractive to regional operators, national preschool chains, and private equity groups. Why This Opportunity Licensed preschool and child care facilities paired with real estate rarely come to market in this type of high-barrier-to-entry, affluent location. The combination of prime demographics, long-standing community trust, and a valuable license base creates immediate appeal, while the upside opportunities offer a compelling investment thesis. Next Steps Due to the confidential nature of this offering, further details—including financial performance, photos, videos, and a comprehensive offering memorandum—are available only upon execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Qualified buyers will have the opportunity to review full business and property information and discuss financing structures. This is a unique chance to acquire a preschool and real estate package with scale, upside, and long-term value in one of Southern California’s most desirable education markets.

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.
