We sent this opportunity across a few weeks ago. Given the level of interest we've received, we wanted to make sure it didn't slip past you.
School No. 36568 is a confidential sell-side mandate — an award-winning, multi-campus private career college group in Western Canada offering training in health care aide, wellness, esthetics, hairstyling, and barbering, with integrated clinic and salon revenue that adds margin without adding overhead.
This is not a turnaround. It's a high-performing platform with a clear growth thesis.
INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
- Revenue growing from $5.12M (FY2024) → $6.60M (FY2026F)
- Adj. EBITDA expanding from $1.23M → $2.60M over the same period
- FY2026F Adj. EBITDA Margin of 39.4% — up from 24.0% in FY2024
- Enrollment projected to grow from 412 → 680+ students
- Predominantly domestic student base — minimal federal policy exposure
- Provincially licensed, student-aid eligible, DLI status maintained
- Experienced management team in place post-closing
- Multi-campus scale with immediate geographic diversification
WHY THIS PLATFORM STANDS OUT
The private career college market in Western Canada remains highly fragmented — most operators are small, undercapitalized, or founder-dependent. This business is the exception: regulated, profitable, and institutionally transferable.
The value-creation pathway doesn't require significant capital deployment. Growth comes from filling existing capacity — more cohorts, higher clinic throughput, incremental program expansion — not new infrastructure.
GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
-
Near-Term: Additional Health Care Aide cohorts, expanded clinical esthetics, dual-credit partnerships, and increased clinic/salon revenue.
-
Medium-Term: Adjacent program development, employer and community partnerships, selective online delivery, and retail service revenue growth.
-
Value-Creation Pathway The opportunity is well within reach for an experienced operator or platform acquirer.
