Flight Training And Touring Company - Helicopter & Fixed Wing
$ 1,800,000
CF : $ 493,000
Premier Accredited Helicopter Flight School, Tour, Aerial Media & Charter Business. FIXED WING COMING Q1 2026! Founded in 2014 by two pilots, 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 more than 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 3 yr old full motion flight simulator – estimated value at $1,400,000. There is also a managed R44 currently flying and a managed Cabri pending overhaul since 11/25. The newly acquired leased Cessna 172 TAA is in the air and will be ready for a full schedule of flight training in Q1 2026. 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 into 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. Rare Dual Rating in industry offers reduced requirements for pilot licensing with multiple new revenue streams and additional competitive advantage beginning 2026. Nwe Hanger 2024: Investment $100,000. 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 Ops, Front Desk Admin, 4 FT, 2 PT plus new Fixed Wing Instructor/Pilot, 2 owners mostly absentee owners (both Pilots). The critical gap you will need to fill is that of Chief Pilot. Currently the Chief Pilot wishes to exit the business following a reasonable transition period. She also serves as the Chief Instructor. 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 4500 sqft hanger and 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 1 managed r44 and 1 managed Cabri in the 2025 mix. The new Cessna 172 TAA is leased. The change in strategy resulted in significant annual expense reduction and the new hanger and flight simulator are adding income streams in general and opportunities to generate income when the weather isn’t appropriate for flying. The Fixed Wing addition will not only enable a new revenue stream but Dual Rating benefits to pilots and in turn the business. 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-Sept $1,054k. 2024 SDE $493K. SBA is not possible without a very substantial down payment, experience, and US Citizenship. Monthly lease on NEW hanger: $6300 (Including helipads). Cash free/debt free. Price firm: $1,800,000.

Provider of Specialty Cruise Group Events
$ 890,000
CF : $ 435,000
This company provides specialized destination travel services to an exceptionally dedicated, affluent, enthused group of travelers. The company organizes travel excursions around events that occur regularly on a well-known schedule; these events frequently sell out, providing a regular, profitable revenue stream. For each event, the company organizes ancillary activities and educational seminars. Clients are drawn from a highly focused third-party customer list, as well as the company’s database of 10,000 prospects and customers, which is comprised of qualified travel enthusiasts. The business has an affluent client base, averaging $7,500 of revenue per traveler per event; a typical booking is two people ($15,000). The company runs smoothly with a small, experienced, knowledgeable team, allowing all contractors to be 100% home-based. The owner has reached retirement age, so it’s time to hand over the reins to a qualified successor. A buyer can operate the business profitably “as-is” or shift into growth mode. Start advertising additional travel opportunities to the client base; it's filled with upscale travel aficionados. Expand into other products such as FIT travel. Start a concierge service for the high end of the market. Most importantly, leverage social media; the current owner doesn't use it, and the business’s content would be perfect for social platforms. This destination travel company has it all: highly profitable, home-based, and with a devoted client base. Whether you’re an entrepreneur looking to own your first business, or you’re already in the travel industry and are looking to expand through acquisition, this may be the perfect opportunity for you.
