High-Revenue Education Business with Proven Demand
$ 1,800,000
This offering presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large scale, well established education business with decades of operating history, strong revenue, and a structure that aligns with current buyer and lender expectations. The business has been recently repriced to reflect market reality, positioning it squarely in the execution zone for experienced operators seeking scale, stability, and growth without the capital burden of real estate ownership. This is a proven education platform with real infrastructure and sustained demand. The operation serves a broad age range, supporting long student tenure and consistent enrollment. Annual revenue exceeds $2.0M, driven primarily by private pay tuition. Established systems, curriculum, and staffing are already in place, allowing a buyer to step into operations with minimal disruption. The facility is purpose built for educational use and is secured by a long term lease that provides operational stability while preserving capital for program growth and margin expansion. Buyers can focus resources on optimizing enrollment, improving efficiencies, and enhancing offerings rather than owning real estate. From a financial perspective, the business offers clear add back and normalization potential, particularly related to owner compensation and discretionary expenses. With staffing and infrastructure already scaled, incremental enrollment has a meaningful impact on profitability. This opportunity is best suited for experienced education operators, Montessori platforms, and multi site groups seeking a durable California presence. First time operators may find the scale demanding, while seasoned buyers will recognize the leverage and upside immediately. The seller is realistic, motivated, and focused on a clean, professional transaction. Pricing and structure are aligned with current SBA and conventional financing expectations for qualified buyers. Comprehensive financials, lease details, enrollment data, and operational information are available upon execution of a confidential NDA.
