Martial Arts Franchisor + Corporate Studio in DFW
Business Description
This is 2 businesses in 1 deal. A martial arts franchisor with multiple franchisee locations.
The franchisor collects monthly royalty, marketing and product revenue from independent owner-operators across five studios in the fastest-growing suburbs in North Texas. Overhead is minimal. Franchisor net margin ran 67% in the most recent full year.
The corporate studio has operated since 2017 in the retail center of a large master-planned community. It runs on a head coach and an office manager. The owner is not on the mat. 4.8-star Google rating and a dominant local reputation.
Combined gross revenue of $485,000 and $190,000 SDE in the most recent full tax year. Filed federal returns are available for both entities for 2023, 2024 and 2025, and gross receipts tie exactly to the P&Ls.
Here is the upside. Five studios awarded in seven years of franchising. Half a dozen high-growth towns inside a 20-mile radius still have no location. Every new territory adds a fee plus permanent royalty income at near-zero incremental cost.
Priced at $600,000, roughly 3.2x SDE. Single studios trade at 2 to 2.75x. The premium is the franchise system, and the system is the part that scales.
30 days of seller transition included.
Full CIM with financials, facility photos and tax returns available after NDA.

About the Business

- Facilities & Assets
- Turnkey studio in a stone-front retail center anchoring a large master-planned community. Finished lobby with reception casework, granite counters, tile flooring, display screens and full brand graphics. Fully matted training floor with wall padding to standing height. Restrooms and changing rooms. Mats, pads, shields, gloves and all training equipment convey, along with lobby furnishings, signage, front-desk technology and retail inventory on hand. No build-out cost for the buyer.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The studio sits in one of the fastest-growing towns in the country, inside a master-planned community with a young, high-income, family-heavy demographic — the ideal profile for youth martial arts. The five-studio footprint covers three of the highest-income suburbs in North Texas. No national brand has established a dominant position in the trade area. The subject studio holds the highest review volume in its market, which drives organic search. Local competitors are single independents with no system, no franchise infrastructure and no ability to expand.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Award new territories. Six high-growth towns within 20 miles have no location. Each one adds a franchise fee plus permanent royalty income at almost no incremental cost.
Grow Studio Memberships. Paid acquisition, an intro-offer funnel and school outreach have not been run consistently at the corporate location while the local population kept growing.
