Los Angeles County, California
Licensed Preschool & RE | Affluent Demographics | SBA Eligible
$ 2,950,000
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.

CF : $ 493,000
Premier Accredited Helicopter Flight School, Tour, Aerial Media & Charter Business. Founded in 2014 by two pilots, Anthelion Helicopters is a premier Southern CA helicopter flight training school and helicopter tour company. Company is committed to providing the highest level of professionalism and safety for all visitors looking to take helicopter training classes, helicopter tours, aerial media, charter flights, gender reveals, City events, weddings, Aircraft management or finding a Helicopter Ride in So CA. Located at the best helicopter training airport in LA. Partnership separation and absentee ownership is motivating the sale. The sellers have done the heavy lifting over a decade and have other interests and responsibilities. At this time, though the business is quite profitable and positioned for significant growth, its physical assets and certifications are valued as much or more than the cash flow (from a replacement vs commercial lender perspective). That said, after an uncontrollable and very unfortunate industry maintenance issue in 2023, 2024 and 2025 cash flow has caught up. Sellers are motivated but the business is growing, the fiscal reality is comfortable, and the future is bright. This is an established good business with a solid team in place. Regardless, the buyer will need to be well capitalized and/or have immediate experience and significant cash available for continued investment to grow. Physical Assets to be sold together: Two owned R44 Helicopters and two R22…along with a 2 yr old full motion flight simulator – estimated value at $1,400,000. FAA Part 135 (Charter Full certificate). The Part 135 Full Certificate is the highest level and enables flexibility like traveling interstate. Part 61/141 Flight School). Chief Pilot, Director of Operations and Director of Maintenance positions are required to maintain the full certificate. Part 91 LOA for air tours. SEVIS certification received effective 6/1/23 (student exchange visitor program which will enable company to issue i20 and M1 Visas). This represents a very significant growth opportunity for the future. Certificate and Certifications – estimated value $700,000. Cut the line! These certifications and certificates take many years (6-8) to secure and newcomers to the 141-flight school side can’t even apply until business has been operational for 2 years. NEW Hanger: Investment $!00,000 Helicopter parts: estimated value $50,000 Various other physical assets: 7- person golf cart, mobile fuel and pumping system and other hanger equipment. Estimated value. $10,000 Hanger FFE: estimated value $25,000. Company is the ONLY operator in California to have the Guimbal G2 Cabri advanced trainer and the only school in the So. CA area to have an FAA accredited helicopter flight training device (simulator). Zero accidents on record. 100% safety record. All processes and systems (including SMS safety) are fully documented. Training manuals exist for every role. No single employee “IS” the company. CEO/Chief Pilot owners have been largely absentee but will be available as needed part-time to assist transition. The CEO may be available after the sale in a part-time advisory capacity. The Chief Pilot) will assist with a transition, but there must be a clear path for complete exit in a reasonable timeframe. Current Staff: Operations Manager, Assistant Chief Pilot, Front Desk Admin, 4 Pilots, mostly absentee owners (both Pilots). The critical gap you will need to fill is that of Chief Pilot. Currently Nina is the Chief Pilot and wishes to exit the business following a reasonable transition period. She also serves as the Chief Instructor. The Assistant Chief Instructor/Pilot could get to Chief Instructor reasonably soon. It will take longer for him to meet Chief Pilot requirements. Current revenue streams: Flight Training, Charter, Tours, Aerial Photography and videography, Gender Reveal (first in the country to make it into a viable commercial product), Aircraft Management. Events and ground-based training facilitated by NEW 4500 sqft hanger and new flight simulator; industry galas, company team building, kids parties and weddings. Marketing: Social Media (Largest flight school Instagram in LA and proven income generator), Facebook, Youtube, Tiktok, LinkedIn SEO, Ad Campaigns, Publications, Website, Trip Advisor, Fare Harbor (on-line sales) and more…LA Helicopters.com, Gifting website, exclusive supplier to www.luxuryhelicoptertours.com, 100 5 star yelp reviews, top of page SEO on many relevant keywords. Significant investment and operational efficiencies have set the next owner operator up for accelerated growth in revenue and earnings beyond 2024. Capital investment in 2021 & 2022 resulted in owned vs. leased helicopters, though there is a 1 leased and 1 managed helicopter in the 2025 mix. The change in strategy resulted in significant annual expense reduction and the NEW hanger and flight simulator are now adding new income streams in general and opportunities to generate income when the weather isn’t appropriate for flying. Bring or earn your pilot license, hire more pilots, or train and employ them to grow the business to its potential. Revenue History: 2018 $1.2, 2019 $1.3M, 2020 $1M and 2021 $1.68M, 2022 $1.36M, 2023 $1.12M, 2024 $1.32M, 2025 Jan-June $714k. 2024 SDE $493K.
