Established Island Music Store & Teaching Studio – $158K Total Investm
Business Description
Turnkey Guitar Shop + Teaching Studios in Thriving Coastal Community – Perfect O
Step into a business that already hits all the right notes.
This profitable, long?standing guitar-focused music store with lesson studios is located in a desirable coastal Georgia island community, just minutes from a major historic city and busy tourism corridor. For over a decade, it has been the go?to local hub for instruments, accessories, repairs, and private music instruction.
Asking Price:
- $130,000 for the business
- Plus inventory and FF&E at cost (estimated at ~$43,000)
You’re not starting from scratch. On day one, you step into:
- Growing revenue – 2024 sales were up vs. 2023
- Strong margins – gross profit improved significantly year over year
- Solid cash flow – Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) of ~$51K in 2024, with 2025 on track to exceed $58K–$60K+
- Established customer base – families, students, hobbyists, and serious players
- Deep vendor relationships – proven supply lines and pricing with recognized brands
For many entrepreneurs, building this kind of trusted, profitable music business from zero would likely take 5+ years, plus trial-and-error. Here, the brand equity, systems, and repeat customers are already in place.
Add in recent tax incentives available to small-business buyers and investors in Georgia (consult your CPA), and you’ve got a compelling reason to move now rather than “someday.” Structuring the purchase and transition before March 2026 could deliver meaningful tax advantages along with immediate, bankable cash flow.
This is an ideal opportunity for:
- A musician or music educator who wants to own their workday and stay close to the art
- A husband-and-wife team looking for a community-centered business they can grow together
- An entrepreneur or investor who sees the upside in specialty retail and recurring lesson income
- A career changer seeking lifestyle, stability, and a coastal setting with year?round demand
Imagine living near the water, avoiding big-city grind, and spending your days helping kids, parents, and players fall in love with music—while earning a solid income from an established operation.
