Description
This is a confidential opportunity to acquire a well-established language learning centre in Central Singapore, teaching a third language to children, teenagers and adults. The business is offered as a 100 percent share transfer of the operating company.
The single strongest feature is that the owner does not teach. The business is managed rather than performed, so students and institutional clients are attached to the brand, the teaching team and the curriculum rather than to one person. That is uncommon at this size and it is what makes the business genuinely transferable.
Revenue comes from four active channels, most of it delivered away from the centre: classes at the premises, classes delivered inside established international schools, online, and home tuition. A fifth channel, corporate programmes, ran previously and is available to restart. Relationships with the international schools run to a decade, and the centre built several of those programmes from scratch.
The owner is relocating overseas.
๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐๐
๐ฐ Revenue: Approx. S$174k on a trailing twelve-month basis, up 17.9 percent on the preceding twelve months
๐ Adjusted Owner Earnings: Approx. S$97k on a trailing twelve-month basis, stated before the owner's remuneration
๐ Capability: Examination preparation across the major international curricula, the strongest and highest-rate work in the business
๐ Curriculum: A structured programme from beginner to upper-intermediate level, built on an established published method with the centre's own unit planners and supplementary materials, held digitally so any qualified teacher can take a class at short notice
๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ Students: 50+ paying students across children, teenagers and adults
๐ซ Channels: Four active revenue channels, with most delivery taking place inside client institutions rather than at the centre
๐ค Institutional Relationships: Decade-long relationships with established international schools
๐ Location: Central Singapore
๐ฉโ๐ซ Team: Six including the owner. Qualified native-speaker teachers on signed agreements with notice periods and non-solicitation
๐ต Cost Base: Teachers are paid for hours taught, so the largest cost in the business moves with revenue. Delivery cost has run at 22 to 27 percent of revenue
๐ง Owner Role: Management only. The owner does not teach, so day-to-day delivery continues without them
๐ Upside: Additional revenue is available without adding a single new student. Weekend classes, an offer built for local-school students taking the language as a third language, larger class sizes on the institutional rate card, and a dormant corporate channel are all unworked

A buyer acquires an operating business rather than a job. The owner does not teach, the teaching team is on signed agreements, and the curriculum is documented to the point where a qualified teacher can pick up a class at short notice. Most businesses at this size depend entirely on the founder. This one does not, and that is why it is worth more than its earnings alone suggest.
The cost structure is unusually forgiving. Teachers are paid only for hours actually taught, so the largest cost line moves with revenue and a quiet month does not produce a loss. Delivery cost has held between 22 and 27 percent of revenue.
For an existing education or enrichment operator, this is a bolt-on that adds a language capability, a documented curriculum, and a set of institutional relationships that take years to build. For an owner-operator, it is a business that already runs without its owner teaching, with clear and unworked routes to more revenue.
