Business for Sale Overview:

Already an immensely successful concept in England, Australia, New Zealand and across the Pacific basin, areas all of which share similar curricula, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire an established business operating a franchise involved in English and Maths tuition – one of the growth industries of the millennium. With the increasing importance of education to the future prospects of children – to the extent that families are prepared to move home to ensure their children are in the right catchment area for a particular school, this exciting new concept is rapidly re-defining the role of private tuition. With the concept established as long ago as the early 1980’s this franchise, which itself has been running very successfully for several years, is ideally placed in Sutton, Surrey, an area with an abundance of local independent schools and parents wanting to get their children in to them.

Property Features and Assets:

This business occupies very well suited premises of approximately 1,000 square feet – split almost equally between Maths and English - centrally positioned close to the St Nicholas shopping centre in Sutton, Surrey. It has 20 workstations in all. The Rent is currently £17,500 per annum plus VAT including Rates. Eight months remain on the current lease. Although the current Owners understand the lease will be renewable, the business could easily be relocated, if appropriate.

Market Competition and Expansion:

To establish itself this business has invested heavily in marketing and advertising in the past through direct marketing, book bag inserts via local schools as well as small display advertising in the local press. The business benefits greatly from the franchisor driven corporate website which it has supported with web links and sponsored adwords campaigns in its local market. Located close to the St Nicholas shopping centre the business has occasionally undertaken in-centre displays and benefits from very effective directional signage. Above all however the business benefits most from the most cost effective forms of marketing and advertising – word of mouth recommendation and referrals, testimony to the high levels of customer satisfaction the business generates and its highly successful track record in academic achievement for its students.
