Business Description
*Confidential Sale*
Please Do Not Contact the Center Directly. This is a confidential business sale. Please do not visit the center, call the center, contact the Center Director or any Sylvan employee regarding the sale, or discuss the sale with any employees. All inquiries, requests for information, and scheduling of any visits must be directed to the seller or authorized representative. Qualified buyers will be asked to execute a confidentiality agreement before receiving detailed financial information or additional confidential business information.



Established and well-regarded Sylvan Learning Center serving families throughout Vancouver and Clark County, Washington. The center generated approximately $486,000 in revenue and $133,000 in adjusted EBITDA in 2025, with approximately 90 active students and about $20,000 in monthly recurring revenue.

The business operates from a highly visible and convenient Cascade Park location near the Mill Plain/I-205 interchange, with ample parking and a large footprint that supports tutoring, testing, administration, and future growth. The lease runs through December 31, 2028, with renewal options.

The center has an experienced operating team, including a full-time Center Director and approximately 12 part-time teachers. The current owner is not required for daily operations, and the business is positioned for a smooth transition to a new owner. The seller may provide transition support, subject to mutually agreed terms. The current team (ex. seller) may wish to continue working under the new ownership.

Revenue is supported by a diversified mix of recurring enrollment plans, bulk hour packages, test prep packages, and other prepaid services. Approximately 60-70% of the student base is on a continuous enrollment plan, contributing to predictable revenue and ongoing family engagement. Services include individualized K–12 tutoring, reading, math, writing, science, homework support, ACT/SAT preparation, GED support, and other specialized programs.

The center benefits from the established Sylvan brand, a strong local reputation, repeat families, sibling enrollment, long-tenured teachers, positive customer reviews, and relationships with schools, school districts, Indigenous tribes, nonprofits, and other community organizations. The territory of this center's exclusive marketing rights covers a significant portion of Clark County, and all other nearby Sylvan Learning Center locations are across the river in Oregon.

Included in the sale are the furniture, fixtures, equipment, technology, learning materials, signage, and other assets needed to operate the center effectively. A vehicle used for business and marketing activities, including a Sylvan-branded vehicle wrap, is also included.

Growth opportunities include increasing enrollment, improving lead conversion, expanding school and community partnerships, reactivating former students, increasing summer and daytime utilization, expanding test preparation and specialized programs, and strengthening local and digital marketing efforts. The center’s established systems, recurring customer base, experienced team, and available space provide a strong platform for continued growth.

The current owners are pursuing other professional and personal interests. A buyer will be required to execute a new franchise agreement with Sylvan Learning and satisfy the franchisor’s approval and qualification requirements. Seller financing may be available for qualified buyers, with terms negotiated based on buyer qualifications, down payment, lender participation, and overall transaction structure.

Facilities & Assets
The sale includes the furniture, fixtures, equipment, technology, learning materials, signage, and other operating assets needed to run the center effectively. The transaction will also include a vehicle used for business and marketing activities, which has a Sylvan-branded vehicle wrap. The center is housed in a well-maintained, highly visible location with convenient access, ample parking, and a layout designed to support tutoring, administration, and student engagement. A detailed inventory of included assets will be provided during due diligence.
Market Outlook / Competition
Clark County has an active and diverse K–12 tutoring market, including national providers such as Kumon and Mathnasium, boutique providers such as Masterthinkers, and independent tutors and specialized literacy practices. Competitors generally focus on a narrower offering, such as math-only instruction, worksheet-based practice, one-on-one tutoring, or targeted reading intervention. This center is differentiated by its established local reputation, recognized Sylvan brand, broad K–12 academic offering, personalized learning plans, reading and math support, writing and science tutoring, homework help, test preparation, and recurring-enrollment model. Its established staff, repeat families, school and community relationships, and convenient Cascade Park location provide a strong foundation in a growing and competitive education market.
Opportunities for Growth
The center offers several opportunities for a motivated owner to build on its established foundation. Potential growth initiatives include increasing enrollment among existing families, improving conversion from assessments and inquiries, expanding school and community partnerships, developing additional referral relationships, increasing utilization during daytime and summer hours, and expanding ACT, SAT, GED, and other specialized preparation programs. Additional opportunities may include targeted marketing in underpenetrated parts of the territory, reactivation of former students, and selectively adding instructional or administrative capacity. The center’s established systems, recurring-revenue customer base, large footprint, and experienced team provide a platform for growth without requiring a start-up buildout.
