Established Preschool | 7.8% Fast-Growth SC Market
Business Description
THE OPPORTUNITY
Established preschool franchise in one of South Carolina's fastest-growing family markets. 100+ enrolled families. 18 trained staff. Clean balance sheet. No debt to assume.
The core program runs at 94% utilization. Additional program capacity sits at 16% — 65+ open seats waiting for an operator who knows how to fill them. The families are already enrolled. This is a conversion problem, not a demand problem.
AT A GLANCE
Asking Price: $375,000 (significantly below new franchise build cost)
Core Program: 94% utilized, 100+ enrolled families
Additional Capacity: 65+ open seats at 16% utilization
Staff: 18 including on-site director
Facility: 6,500 SF, 6 classrooms
Financing: Seller financing available
THE MARKET
115,000+ residents in the trade area. 7.8% projected growth through 2029 — 8x the national average. Thousands of children ages 0-4 nearby. High-growth corridor of the Charleston metro with significant new residential development.
Families here choose on proximity, schedule fit, and reliability. Demand replenishes every year.
WHY THIS PRICE
At $375K you get 100+ families already enrolled, 18 trained staff, confirmed pricing power, and three years of parent trust — the one asset money can't replicate. The core program is full. The growth is in the underutilized capacity. Long-term NNN lease with multiple renewal options. Nationally recognized franchise brand.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Franchise rights, curriculum, and training materials. All FF&E. Current enrollment and staff. Lease assignment. Up to 90 days transition support. Seller financing available.
IDEAL BUYER
You've managed teams, budgets, and customers. You see underutilization in a growing market as opportunity, not a problem. This is an owner-operator deal — the growth lever requires your attention, not absentee management.
NEXT STEPS
Qualified buyers receive a Confidential Information Package with full financials, projections, and operational detail. NDA required before disclosure.
