SBA Pre-approved.

This is an opportunity to acquire a profitable, fast-growing Sylvan Learning Center located in Los Angeles. Established in 2021, the business has successfully completed its startup and ramp-up phase and is now operating as a turnkey, cash-flowing education franchise.

Revenue has grown from approximately $120K in 2022 to nearly $798,540 in 2025, representing a 6.5x increase over three years. The center achieved stable profitability in 2024 and generated approximately $163,775 in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) in 2025. The business serves both retail tutoring clients, service agencies, and school district contracts, providing diversified and recurring revenue streams.

The operation is fully staffed with an experienced Center Director, assistant management, and a trained instructional team, allowing for semi-absentee ownership. This acquisition enables a buyer to bypass startup risk, initial losses, and the estimated $150K+ build-out and launch costs typically associated with opening a new Sylvan location.
