Established Education Business and Commercial Property – Queensland

An opportunity to acquire a long-established specialist education business operating from its own commercial premises in Mooloolaba on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

Established in 2003, the business has built a strong local presence over more than 20 years, providing individualised, self-paced and accelerated learning programs for primary and secondary school students.

Unlike conventional remedial tutoring, the centre’s model is designed to identify gaps in a student’s knowledge while also allowing capable students to progress beyond their current school-year level. The centre provides support across Mathematics, English and senior sciences, together with assignment support, study skills, mentoring and broader academic guidance.

The business has developed longstanding relationships with Sunshine Coast families, with former students subsequently returning to the centre with their own children.

An Established Business with Lifestyle-Friendly Hours

The centre currently operates teaching sessions over just four afternoons/evenings per week, Monday to Thursday, during Queensland school terms.

The current owner reports approximately 13 hours of involvement per week, supported by established systems for student placement, educator rostering, administration, invoicing and payroll.

A distinctive educator recruitment model draws from high-performing senior students and former students of the centre, creating an ongoing pathway of educators already familiar with the centre’s methodology and culture.

Significant Growth Opportunities

The business has intentionally not been operated to maximise student numbers or pricing in recent years, providing an incoming purchaser with several identifiable growth opportunities.

These include increasing student numbers, introducing additional afternoon/evening sessions, expanding operating days, reviewing tuition pricing, undertaking more active marketing and potentially expanding senior student placements.

There may also be longer-term potential to replicate the established educational and operational model in other locations.

Commercial Property Included

The business operates from approximately 141 m² of commercial premises in Mooloolaba, configured specifically for the operation and incorporating multiple learning areas, student workstations, administration space and associated facilities.

Acquiring the property together with the business provides the purchaser with control of the established location from which the business has operated successfully for many years.

The business and property will be sold under separate contracts and may be purchased by separate entities associated with the same buyer. The property cannot be purchased independently of the business.
