Los Angeles County, California
Premier Music School in Affluent South Bay Beach Cities
Call/Email
CF : $ 121,947
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly successful, WASC-accredited independent music school and performing arts community located in one of Southern California's wealthiest zip codes. Established for over 20 years, the business has built a prestigious reputation and a deeply entrenched community presence, serving a highly engaged student base across the affluent South Bay Beach Cities region. Operating from a custom-built 4,690 sq ft facility, the school offers a comprehensive, goal-based curriculum including private lessons across multiple instruments, dynamic group band programs, and highly sought-after summer camps. The business model is exceptionally scalable and asset-light, utilizing a roster of over 40 specialized, independent 1099 contractor instructors who rent teaching space. This structure dramatically reduces payroll burden and administrative overhead while maximizing facility utilization and cash flow. Key Investment Highlights *Deeply Entrenched Community Asset: 20+ year operating history with strong brand loyalty and generational student retention in one of California's most affluent communities *Exceptional Organic Growth: The school's primary marketing engine is word-of-mouth and referrals - a testament to the quality and depth of community trust. The active student base has grown more than 3x over the last five years. *Asset Light, Scalable Operations: The school operates primarily on a 1099 contractor model with a tiered room rental structure to minimize overhead. *Diversified Revenue Streams: Multiple income channels across private lessons, ensemble/group band programs, seasonal camps, and space rentals. *Prime Location & Demographics: Situated in South Bay Beach Cities, supported by exceptionally strong household incomes and a dense concentration of K-12 schools and school-age children within a 10-mile radius. *Clear Upside for the Right Buyer: Opportunities to build and scale through optimizing scheduling and pricing, expand into online/hybrid instruction, scale to additional locations, all based on a trusted and established brand with a loyal community following. The ideal buyer for Coast Music is an operator, educator, or strategic acquirer looking to immediately step into a market-leading position in premium music education in one of the most affluent and education-focused communities in California — bypassing entirely the years of brand-building, community trust development, curriculum development, facility build-out, and enrollment growth that Coast Music has already achieved. This turnkey operation is positioned for continued growth, and the current ownership has established clear pathways for expansion, including facility scaling and external partnerships. This offering is being conducted via a confidential auction process. Detailed financial information and a comprehensive Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) will be provided to qualified buyers upon execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

Title IV & VA Approved Cosmetology School-Established Since 2006
$ 2,800,000
CF : $ 722,974
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a premier cosmetology and beauty school franchise with nearly two decades of proven performance in one of the most competitive beauty markets in the country. The school operates under a nationally recognized brand - widely considered the gold standard in the beauty industry - and is consistently the highest rated location among Southern California franchisees. The Business Established in 2006, the school graduates over 200 students annually across cosmetology, barbering, and esthetician programs, who go on to work at top salons across the country. As both a Title IV and VA approved institution, students have access to federal financial aid and GI Bill benefits, a dual approval that broadens the eligible student population and has supported stable, recession-resistant enrollment through multiple economic cycles. Beyond the school itself, the business includes a retail component that sells high-quality beauty products. It currently accounts for 15% of total revenue, presenting an excellent opportunity for expansion. A new owner could continue selling the existing branded products or introduce their own line of beauty supplies, capitalizing on the high-margin nature of the retail segment. In addition, the school also offers beauty services to the public, which are performed by students under the supervision of licensed professionals, providing them with hands-on training while generating additional revenue for the business. Financials The school has consistently generated approximately $4M in annual revenue. The 2022–2023 period saw a temporary revenue reduction when California reduced required cosmetology training hours from 1,500 to 1,000, compressing billable hours and top-line revenue. The school moved quickly to restore the full 1,500-hour program structure, and the rebound was sharp: 2024 performance returned to historical levels, and 2025 revenue reached approximately $4.3M, generating roughly $720K in Seller's Discretionary Earnings. Facility & Assets The school occupies an expansive 15,000-square-foot facility in a high traffic mall. 6 years remain on the lease with the option to extend for 10 years. Rent is a~$44,000/month, and the lease is guaranteed by the franchisor up to $1 million, a highly unusual and valuable provision. The buildout includes over $2 million in leasehold improvements and more than $650,000 in furniture, fixtures, and equipment, making it fully equipped to handle all cosmetology, barbering, dermatology, and esthetics services. All assets will be included in the sale, ensuring a seamless transition for the new owner. Transition After 20 years of ownership, the seller is relocating out of state and has shifted his focus to other ventures. He is committed to a full and structured transition to ensure continuity for staff, students, and the franchise relationship. This is an exceptional entry point into a high-barrier, institutionally credentialed business with a long track record and a strong foundation for continued growth. Qualified buyers must be able to demonstrate $1M+ in liquid capital.
Diamond Bar, California
Montessori School Positioned for Future Growth Now
$ 495,000
CF : $ 101,426
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 was the first authentic Montessori in its city. It had an extensive history but required improvement. After the acquisitions, significant improvements were made. The school was modernized, operational systems improved, and facilities enhanced. They also brought them up to current AMI Montessori certification standards and ensured that classes were led by certified Montessori teachers, a core academy philosophy. The approach was successful. Enrollment has increased, and the Montessori institution is authentic and now known for providing the highest-quality Montessori pedagogy in the County. Currently, 46 children, ages 2 through 7, are enrolled. More than 90% of students attend 5-day programs for toddlers (including potty-training programs), preschool (ages 2 to 5 years), kindergarten through First Grade (ages 5 to 7 years), and enrichment programs. The school is licensed for up to 102 children. Enrollment is expected to increase following licensing approval for 24 additional toddler spots in late 2025. The operation employs 8 staff. The longtime director oversees two lead teachers and three assistant teachers. The director has no plans to retire within the next two years. NDA is required to secure the comprehensive Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) crafted by ProNova Partners. Detailed Information Facilities: The 4,850 square-foot space rents for approximately $14,000.00 per month. The lease runs through September 2030. The accessible location is within a half-mile of the nearest freeway and adjacent to a middle school. Competition: There are a few other Montessori’s within 10 miles, but the Seller believes the authentic AMI teachings will make it the leading choice now and in the future. Growth & Expansion: Filling available spots can be achieved by actively engaging with the local community to build a strong reputation and attract potential families, and by making a concentrated effort to obtain more online reviews. Financing: TBD if the structure and terms are acceptable.

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.
