Description
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, personally trained by Mario Montessori, 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.

Process Controller Manufacturer - 2 Contract MFGs
Call/Email
CF : $ 375,000
The business manufactures and maintains process controllers servicing the water/wastewater, industrial, and institutional markets. Products are used in nuclear power plants, universities, hospitals, steel mills, paper mills etc. Two contract manufacturers make the products. One makes the products, assembles and drop ships them directly to customers. The other ships parts for final assembly at the Company's HQ. The business model has reduced overhead and the need for larger facilities. The Company has been through several incarnations since the late 1800's and into the1900s when early models of process controllers were invented. This legacy of innovation was nearly lost when the 2004 buyers, a private equity group, failed to implement adequate management and oversight of operations. When purchased and a new LLC established in 2019, the operation was distressed; innovation stalled and engineering on hold. The current owner, an industry-insider, knew what needed to be done, reduced manpower redundancy, but saved jobs and inspired innovation once again. The value-add potential seen in restructuring; reducing overhead, implementing operational efficiencies and improvements resulted in increased bottom-line profitability and the business' gross margin. Detailed Information Facilities: The 7,500 square foot industrial/office space rents for $4,700 per month. The lease extends through May 2024. About half of the space is open warehouse with offices around the perimeter. Competition: Three large multinational corporations are the most predominate competitors in the market that cannot compete with on price thanks to the greater flexibility in pricing. This flexibility also means the ability to offer more customization options to the customer. Other than lower price points, the Company offers great support & application-based solutions. Excellent support, outstanding products and digital marketing, have helped grow market share in since 2019. Growth & Expansion: The Company is on track for gaining market share in a variety of categories of controllers, and with the pending release of the new a next-generation controller more opportunities will open. Additionally, the Company was been awarded a contract for an international nuclear project. In the future, greater overhauls in various industries will be needed to accommodate greater automations. Many new opportunities that will originate with engineering department. The team will create drawings, and design controller configuration. Domestic and international oil and gas industry applications are still strong; natural gas pipelines require compression, measuring and refinery stations. There will be more opportunity in renewable energy, as the industry becomes more streamlined. To ensure long-range goals are reached, the Seller recommends the Buyer focus on making R&D investments, keep new product pipelines growing, and increase spending in the sales & marketing departments. Financing: TBD if structure and terms are acceptable. Support & Training: To ensure a smooth transition and ongoing success the Sellers will work with a buyer as needed for three months, and longer as a paid part-time consultant, as negotiated. Reason for Selling: Seller enjoys restructuring companies, once stabilized, it's onto the next rescue project!

San Clemente, California
Medical Mask And Respirator Supply - 14 Patents
Call/Email
Our client offers a disruptive line of transparent antiviral masks and respirators that improve protection without compromising comfort, compliance, and human connectivity. Fourteen worldwide patents and patents pending protect four fully developed products and seven product lines for reusable and disposable respirators and surgical mask products. These reusable and disposable product lines include detachable protective eye shields, clip-on temple bars, and detachable magnification lenses; disposable surgical masks, disposable surgical respirators, and reusable surgical respirators, (with or without protective eyewear) plus other accessories. Medical providers have long deployed surgical masks and respirators to reduce infections caused by airborne pathogens. The Covid pandemic drove masks and respirators onto the world stage. While N95 respirators and surgical masks protect wearers, professionals, and civilians, all have had to accept pragmatic problems. These deficiencies are not just nuisances, they reduce usage, compliance, and efficacy. These include oxygen deprivation, skin irritation and damage, headache reactions, ineffective filtration, and ophthalmic and otolaryngologic distress. Our client’s revolutionary products will directly address each of these issues. Beyond these pragmatic issues, current product offerings are an imposing impairment to human connection. Studies have shown that patient disposition is affected by facial expressions received from doctors and medical staff. A masked face is not a friendly one. Yet, we have accepted the human disruption of current commodity offerings. Our client believes a better way to protect humanity is with products that protect people without interrupting the human and social connectivity between people, at work, in life, or in healthcare when they are likely to be in a vulnerable position, individually or collectively. Our client, after having developed the R&D for its transformational line of surgical masks and respirators and given the criticality of such solutions to the marketplace, is seeking a large manufacturer and/or distributor to partner with instead of pursuing a more typical start-up path. In this case, existing products are so highly commoditized, that a significant opportunity exists for a company to leverage its manufacturing, marketing, distribution, and other assets and capabilities to seize and scale the opportunity. Our client understands that this approach likely reduces its financial payoff. Our client wishes to sell all its intellectual assets, designs, patents, etc. to a leader (or prospective leader) who shares its vision for the industry. After the sale, the founder and developer is willing to continue engaging with the project to continue R&D and design work if desired by the acquiring organization. He has dozens of patents and is well-known in the industry. This opportunity is not yet operating and generating revenue. However, our client has developed four products which include seven product lines with or without protective eyewear. These include disposable surgical masks, disposable surgical respirators, and reusable surgical respirators, with or without protective eyewear (and other accessories). According to numerous scientific studies and consistent feedback from those in the medical field, there are many well-known issues with today’s mask offerings. Our client set out to solve these problems and has designed the best respirator and mask product lines. NDA is required to secure a comprehensive Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM) crafted by ProNova Partners.
