Profitable Premium Boutique Dessert Cafe | Prime Location
Call/Email
Rare opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, semi-absentee premium dessert shop situated in one of Southern California's most exclusive and affluent communities. The business has built a loyal repeat customer base, near-perfect online reviews, and consistent monthly profitability, all with the current owner investing as few as 5-10 hours per week. The shop operates on a simple, proven model: premium ingredients sourced exclusively through dedicated third-party suppliers, delivered fresh three times per week, served in a modern high-end buildout with strong local foot traffic. With over $200,000 invested in leasehold improvements and equipment, all in near-mint condition, the business is fully turnkey and ready for a new owner from day one. A new owner can step into immediate cash flow and choose to maintain the current semi-absentee model or take a more active role to meaningfully accelerate growth. The current menu is intentionally simple, leaving significant untapped revenue potential through expanding product and service offerings. Key Investment Highlights: - Semi-absentee operation with owner currently working less than 5 hours per week - 68.8% gross profit margins with a lean, predictable cost structure - Limited local competition with a strong, defensible market position - Recent buildout and FF&E, all in near-mint condition - Secure lease with 5-year initial term and 5-year renewal option - Untapped growth through catering, expanded menu, and events Ideal Buyer: - A lifestyle buyer looking to own a fun, feel-good business in a prime Southern California setting that generates strong income without demanding their time or tying them to a desk - Someone who wants the pride of ownership in a premium, community-loved concept while maintaining full flexibility in their schedule - An individual or couple seeking a profitable semi-absentee investment that can be as hands-off or hands-on as they choose - Owner-operators who want to be present in the business and leverage their energy to actively grow revenue beyond what current operations reflect https://tworld.com/locations/California/northsangabrielvalley/listings/Profitable-Premium-Boutique-Dessert-Cafe-Prime-Location

Well-Established Beauty, Cosmetology & Training Center
$ 480,000
Well-Established Beauty & Cosmetology Center with Training Academy (Semi-Absentee) Established in 2019, this well-established beauty and cosmetology center combines a multi-suite professional salon concept with a fully operating education and training academy. The facility features 20 individual suites and areas, all occupied by independent practitioners including hairstylists, manicurists, barbers, makeup artists, lash technicians, and hair-extension specialists. In addition to salon operations, the business includes a dedicated Academy Suite that serves as a cosmetology education and continuing-training center. Courses offered include Aesthetics, Cosmetology, Makeup, Hair Styling, Barbering, Hair Extensions, Hair Coloring, Professional Beauty, Microblading & Shading, Permanent Makeup, and Eyelash Extensions. This is an ideal semi-absentee ownership opportunity. The current owner spends approximately 10–20 hours per week onsite, primarily overseeing operations and occasionally providing services or instruction. The suite-rental model offers stable, predictable income and requires minimal day-to-day management, as practitioners operate independently. The business is located in a well-trafficked neighborhood shopping center in the San Fernando Valley, benefiting from strong local demand and visibility. Significant upside potential exists for an owner-operator or growth-minded investor, including: Expansion of training programs and certifications Retail beauty product sales Increased class frequency and enrollment Strategic brand development A turnkey opportunity combining recurring rental income, education-based revenue, and scalable growth potential in the beauty and personal-care sector. https://tworld.com/locations/California/lametrone/listings/Well-Established-Beauty-Cosmetology-Training-Center

Title IV & VA Approved Cosmetology School-Established Since 2006
$ 2,800,000
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. https://tworld.com/locations/California/beachcitiesandtorrance/listings/Title-IV-VA-Approved-Cosmetology-School-Established-Since-2006

Turnkey B2B Testing Franchise – Two Prime Los Angeles Territories
$ 175,000
An incredible opportunity to acquire a fully operational, high-margin drug, alcohol, and DNA testing franchise covering two of the most lucrative territories in Los Angeles. This business specializes in certified lab testing for corporate compliance (DOT and non-DOT), legal/court mandates, and private individuals. Skip the 6–12-month headache of LA city permitting, construction buildouts, and franchise startup delays. For less than the cost of a brand-new build-out, a buyer steps into immediate cash flow, a fully equipped modern facility, trained staff, and established corporate accounts. The franchisor provides world-class training and ongoing support, making this an ideal acquisition for an energetic owner-operator or an existing franchisee looking to instantly expand their LA footprint. Established in July 2023, this location was built strictly to the latest corporate franchise standards. Over its first two years, the business has successfully built a solid local foundation, established recurring B2B client accounts, and generated reliable year-over-year revenue growth. The current owner is selling to focus on other business ventures, leaving a perfectly positioned, turnkey asset for the next operator. Transition to Owner-Operator Model: The business is currently underperforming due to absentee management structures. A hands-on owner-operator can immediately eliminate unnecessary payroll expenses, optimize day-to-day operations, and capture substantial bottom-line profits. B2B Outbound Sales: Massive revenue upside exists by actively marketing drug-free workplace programs to local construction, logistics, and corporate businesses in the San Fernando Valley and Westside markets. Expanded Services: Introduce mobile/on-site testing services for local corporate clients to command premium fees. As part of a nationally recognized brand, this business holds a distinct competitive advantage over traditional clinical laboratories. While competitors average 45-minute wait times, this operation boasts about a proprietary system that gets clients in and out in under 5 minutes with immediate test results. The clean, professional, non-clinical environment drives high customer retention and excellent Google reviews.

Luxury Day Spa & Med Spa – $500K+ EBITDA and Manager-Run
$ 2,400,000
Please fill out the Contact Form to receive the NDA and Confidential Information Memorandum. This listing is SBA pre-approved! Featured in LA Times, this is a rare luxury Day Spa & Medical Spa, located in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley. Designed as a world-class wellness destination, the facility integrates skin care & beauty, slimming & body contouring, therapeutic massage, hydrotherapy, and advanced medical aesthetics, making it one of the most comprehensive and prestigious wellness centers in the region. The spa features a state-of-the-art hydrotherapy area with separate men’s and women’s facilities, including Jacuzzi spa pools, ice therapy plunge pools, detox steam rooms, a traditional Korean-style sauna, a Himalayan salt healing room, and a Red Clay herbal therapy room. Paired with a beautifully designed environment, these amenities deliver a holistic rejuvenation experience unmatched by local competitors. The business benefits from stable membership pre-paid revenue, high daily customer flow, and strong client loyalty, with many appointments booked one to two months in advance. Supported by a team of 21–25 skilled employees and a well-established membership system, the spa can be successfully operated under a manager, ensuring continuity and efficiency. With dual licensing already in place, there is a significant opportunity for growth and for the immediate expansion of high-margin medical aesthetic treatments. Currently serving a loyal Chinese-speaking clientele, a new owner can easily expand market share by adding English-language marketing, social media campaigns, and extended operating hours. This spa possesses powerful competitive advantages, including over $1.5M+ in facility renovations and specialized equipment. The immense capital and time investment required to replicate the facility, licenses, and customer base creates extremely high barriers to entry. It holds a unique market position as the only full-service luxury spa and med spa in the region that blends cultural appeal with high-end services, cultivating deep customer loyalty. As a profitable, manager-run, and turnkey operation, this spa is more than a business—it is a destination wellness center with strong profitability, stable membership income, and clear pathways for scalable growth. This is an exceptional investment opportunity in the booming health and beauty industry. Beyond its stable foundation, the business is well-positioned for significant growth. The medical aesthetics segment presents a major opportunity and can be scaled dramatically by partnering with a dedicated Medical Director to expand high-margin services. Furthermore, since marketing is currently hyper-focused on the Chinese-speaking community, a new owner could immediately tap into the broader local market by launching English-language digital marketing campaigns, enhancing the spa's website and social media presence, and expanding operational hours. This combination of a secure, profitable core business and multiple clear avenues for expansion makes it an exceptional investment. https://tworld.com/locations/California/beachcitiesandtorrance/listings/Luxury-Day-Spa-Med-Spa-–-500K-EBITDA-and-Manager-Run

Whether managed hands-on or as a potential owner-absentee investment, this profitable and established business presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a thriving local market with immediate income and long-term upside. Beyond its current profitability, this location offers massive untapped growth potential for a visionary buyer ready to scale. A new owner can drive immediate revenue bumps by expanding operating hours to capture early-morning commuters or the lucrative late-night crowd. There is also significant opportunity to maximize existing square footage by introducing high-margin verticals, such as a hot food deli counter, premium vape selections, or a dedicated craft beer cave. By modernizing the business with third-party delivery partnerships (like DoorDash or UberEats), launching a digital customer loyalty program, and increasing local social media marketing, you can effortlessly broaden the customer base and multiply this already thriving store's bottom line. https://tworld.com/locations/California/encino/listings/Mini-Market-Convenience-Store-

B2B Testing Franchise w/ Premier Government Contract
$ 210,000
A rare opportunity to acquire a highly profitable, turn-key drug, alcohol, and DNA testing franchise operating in three of Los Angeles' most desirable 3 territories. This location boasts an incredible net profit margin, driven by low overhead, streamlined operations, and a highly lucrative, built-in contract with the County of Los Angeles. The business serves a diverse mix of corporate compliance accounts, legal mandates, and private citizens. This is a fully built-out, pristine facility with a long-term lease in place. Backed by a nationally recognized franchise network providing full training, this business is perfectly optimized for an investor looking for a high-yield asset or an owner-operator ready to take over a thriving operation on Day 1. Founded in late 2024, this premier franchise location was strategically launched to capture the high-demand medical and corporate screening market in central Los Angeles. The initial partial year of operations focused on infrastructure build-out, licensing, and local setup, reporting nominal foundational revenue. In 2025, its first full calendar year of operations, the business experienced explosive exponential growth. Driven by its highly visible location and the execution of key corporate and regional partnerships, the business achieved $146,429.93 in gross revenue and an exceptional $70,845.24 in net income. The entity is fully compliant, up to date on corporate tax filings, and perfectly primed for an incoming operator to step into a rapidly scaling asset. Leverage Municipal & Government Status: The business has successfully established an operational footprint servicing the County of Los Angeles. An incoming owner can utilize this verified past performance to aggressively bid on additional municipal, state, school district, and utility company testing contracts. B2B Outbound Commercial Sales: Massive upside exists by establishing automated pre-employment screening pipelines with local logistics, entertainment production, hospitality, and construction firms dense within the Culver City and Mid City submarkets. Operating under a nationally recognized franchise network, this business holds a dominant speed and convenience advantage over legacy, institutional clinical laboratories. While major medical competitors suffer from long wait times and rigid clinical environments, this facility utilizes a proprietary, streamlined intake system boasting average wait times under 5 minutes. Its modern, pristine, non-clinical environment and immediate reporting capabilities have secured high customer retention and top-tier local market positioning. Activate Uncapped Territories: This acquisition includes the exclusive franchise rights to three premier, high-density Los Angeles territories (Mid City, Culver City, and East LA). Operations are currently optimized out of a single hub; expanding with low-overhead mobile collection units or satellite storefronts in the remaining territories provides an immediate path to doubling top-line revenue.
