With strong brand recognition, recurring revenue streams, an experienced management team, and a proven operational model, this business is well positioned for continued success and future growth.

Young Chef’s Academy with 30% Membership Growth - Franchise!
$ 139,900
Step into ownership of a well-established, nationally supported culinary education business that blends creativity, community engagement, and recurring revenue. This children’s enrichment concept delivers hands-on cooking classes, camps, birthday parties, field trips, and special events, creating multiple income streams and strong customer retention. The business has experienced approximately 30% growth in membership over the past year, demonstrating increasing demand and a loyal, expanding customer base. With recurring memberships, seasonal programs, and event-based revenue, the model provides both stability and scalability. Backed by a recognized franchise system, the operation benefits from structured curriculum, training, and ongoing support, while still allowing for local market flexibility and community connection. The facility is fully equipped with professional kitchen classrooms and event space, and includes all furniture, fixtures, equipment, and inventory. A trained team is already in place, enabling a smooth transition for a new owner. Seller financing is available for up to 25% of the purchase price, offering an attractive structure for qualified buyers and reducing upfront capital requirements. This is an ideal opportunity for an owner-operator, family buyer, or entrepreneur seeking a purpose-driven business in the growing children’s enrichment sector. Transworld Business Advisors of Cleveland Metro | Akron | Canton is the leading and best business broker in Cleveland, providing confidential business sales, M&A advisory, valuations, franchise consulting, and exit planning. Backed by the world’s largest business brokerage network, we help owners sell with confidence and buyers acquire the right opportunities. #ClevelandBusinessBroker #BusinessForSale #SellMyBusiness #BuyABusiness #BusinessValuation #MergersAndAcquisitions #ExitPlanning #FranchiseResales #OhioBusinessBroker This business is well positioned for growth, with several clear avenues for expansion that a new owner could pursue. Memberships represent the largest and most stable source of revenue, and there is strong opportunity to increase weekday programming. By adding classes during school hours, the business could capture homeschool families, preschool-age children, and parents with flexible schedules who are seeking enrichment activities outside the standard afterschool model. Seasonal camps are another proven area for expansion. Demand during school breaks and summer sessions has remained consistently strong, and adding more camp offerings or introducing new themes would allow the business to reach more families and increase repeat participation. Workshops and special events also provide an avenue to grow, as themed cooking experiences and cultural classes attract both new and returning customers. Partnerships with schools, scout troops, and community organizations already contribute steady income, but these relationships could be expanded through additional outreach and exclusive group programs. Building on these connections would not only increase group bookings but also serve as an effective pipeline for ongoing memberships and event reservations. There is also potential to extend the reach of the business beyond the physical location. Offering online or hybrid cooking experiences would align with broader industry trends in digital enrichment and allow families outside the immediate area to participate. At the same time, a stronger marketing presence through targeted campaigns, community partnerships, and referral incentives could increase brand visibility and bring in new clients. With multiple revenue streams already in place and a growing market for children’s enrichment, the business offers a buyer the chance to expand both in scale and in scope. The next stage of growth can come from building deeper community ties, broadening program offerings, and exploring new delivery formats that meet the needs of modern families. https://tworld.com/locations/Ohio/clevelandmetro/listings/Young-Chef’s-Academy-with-30-Membership-Growth-Franchise-

Northeast Ohio Childcare Center Serving Infants Through Preteens
$ 149,900
Nine Years of Continuous Licensed Operation A 6,000 square foot licensed facility in Massillon, Ohio operates across the full childcare age spectrum, enrolling children from six weeks through eleven years in dedicated classroom space. This breadth lets one location serve a family from infancy through school-age care rather than losing enrollment to age-out transitions. Financial performance shows a clear inflection point. Core tuition revenue was $517,045 in 2024 and $427,217 in 2025. The five months ended May 31, 2026 produced $188,664 in revenue, an annualized run rate near $452,800 and ahead of the 2025 full-year pace. Net margin over that five-month window reached 24.5%, compared with 2.2% for full-year 2025, indicating a meaningfully improved cost structure entering the current year. Eleven employees carry out daily operations under multiple layers of management. Enrollment decisions, staffing, and finance run through oversight-level involvement rather than requiring a daily floor presence, a structure that fits a hands-off buyer. The transaction includes $30,000 in furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Real estate is owned separately from the operating business and is outside the $149,900 asking price. Annual depreciation has held at $8,280 across the four most recent federal tax returns, reflecting routine maintenance with no major capital projects in that window. Key Highlights Nine years of continuous, licensed operation at the same Massillon, Ohio location. Revenue of $427,217 in 2025 and $188,664 for the five months ended May 31, 2026, an annualized run rate of approximately $452,800 Eleven employees under a multi-layer management structure supporting oversight-level ownership involvement 6,000 square foot licensed facility serving children from six weeks through eleven years Real estate owned by the business. (not included) $30,000 in furniture, fixtures, and equipment included in the asking price; inventory is not material to this transaction. Diversified enrollment funding split between private-pay tuition and Ohio's publicly funded child care program, Financials Summary Metric Value Annual Revenue (2025, most recent complete year) $427,217 2026 YTD Revenue (Jan–May) $188,664 2026 Annualized Run Rate (Revenue) ~$452,800 Asking Price $149,900 Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment $30,000 (included) Inventory Not material Revenue Trends Declined 2023-2025, improving in 2026 YTD Seller's Discretionary Earnings reflects a 2023-2024 recency-weighted average, the basis used for valuation and SBA planning purposes. 2022 adjusted SDE of $114,804 is excluded from this average. That figure includes $237,815 in identified one-time state relief funding, and 2022's core revenue also ran higher than 2023-2024 in a way that cannot be cleanly separated from pandemic-era effects. On the averaged 2023-2024 basis, trailing tax-return earnings alone do not clear a reasonable owner salary plus SBA acquisition debt service. A lender will weigh this against the documented 2026 improvement and trailing twelve months of financials. Full SDE waterfall and SBA pre-qualification detail appear in the Financial Slides and Confidential Information Memorandum. All figures are preliminary estimates subject to buyer due diligence. Ideal Buyer Profile This opportunity fits a buyer prepared to commit $149,900 in capital for the business, with real estate negotiated as a separate transaction. Ohio Department of Job and Family Services licensing requires a credentialed director to hold the center's license, so a buyer without qualifying early childhood education credentials should have a credentialed director lined up before taking over operations. The existing eleven-person staff and multi-layer management structure free an owner to concentrate on enrollment growth, staff oversight, and financial management rather than daily floor duties. A buyer willing to evaluate trailing tax-return financials alongside the documented 2026 improvement, and comfortable working with an SBA lender on interim financial data, is well matched to this listing. Ohio's Step Up To Quality program is not currently active at this center. Enrollment in the program opens additional state funding tied to quality ratings. Evening and weekend care hours are not currently offered. Adding these hours captures unused facility capacity and reaches working families outside the standard daytime window. School-age tutoring and enrichment programming is not currently offered. Adding it creates a new revenue category within the center's existing licensed age range. The owned real estate supports added classroom capacity if enrollment grows beyond the current footprint, with interior reconfiguration possible before any physical expansion. Targeted digital marketing to families in the immediate service area is not currently in place. Adding this outreach increases enrollment inquiries with no change to the facility itself. https://tworld.com/locations/Ohio/canton/listings/Northeast-Ohio-Childcare-Center-Serving-Infants-Through-Preteens
