Asking Price: $275,000Established Branded Youth Music Education Business
Not Disclosed, SC
Charleston County
This established branded youth music education business serves approximately 200 active students and offers a well-developed platform for private lessons, semi-private lessons, band/group programs, early childhood classes, camps, and parties.The business operates from a well-located 2,400 square foot facility that includes a lobby, office, multiple classrooms, band rooms, and studio space. Operations are supported by a full-time manager and approximately 10 W-2 instructors. The current owner works approximately 15 to 20 hours per week and does not teach lessons, focusing instead on marketing, promotion, and administrative oversight.The business experienced strong growth through the post-COVID period, peaking in 2023, and has since softened as the owner’s appetite for the constant recruiting and marketing required to keep both student and instructor pipelines full has declined. For the right buyer, this creates a meaningful opportunity to step into an established platform and re-energize growth through stronger marketing, community outreach, student recruitment, and instructor development.The current operation benefits from a structured curriculum, multiple program offerings, and a business model that combines private instruction, group participation, and performance-based programming. The school year rhythm provides predictable seasonal patterns, with strong back-to-school enrollment, a holiday pause, and renewed demand in early spring.The asking price includes all furniture, fixtures, equipment, and instructional/classroom assets needed to continue operations. The business also benefits from runway, with both the lease and franchise term extended through August 2027.Key Highlights -- Approximately 200 active students -- Full-time manager in place -- Approximately 10 W-2 instructors -- Owner works only 15–20 hours per week -- Owner does not teach lessonsPrograms include private lessons, semi-private lessons, band/group programs, early childhood classes, camps, and parties2,400 SF facility with lobby, office, classrooms, band rooms, and studio spaceFurniture, fixtures, equipment, and classroom assets included in asking priceLease and franchise runway through August 2027Clear upside through improved marketing, enrollment growth, teacher recruiting, and local partnershipsFor more information, contact Mike Wilson at mpwilson@sunbeltnetwork.com
