- Facilities & Assets
- We sell mostly online (75%) & in-person (25%) certification courses. We are an established premium brand with an e-learning & shopify platform, and proprietary certification & proctoring system, CRM and financing partners, plus Orlando hands-on training facility. Operations are mostly virtual with minimal fixed assets, low overhead, and scalable, high-tech, automated systems. We also dropship and sell equipment, have our own chemical brand, and upsell lead-generation services, matching the business model of major trade schools but within a niche with far less competition.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- MFS was first-to-market to this space a decade ago, so it cemented its market position as the most premium, supportive training and it dominates online presence for Hood Cleaning compared to only 2 other competitors due to 8+ years of paid ads history and learnings. Due to this regulation-driven market, new competitors can't enter this space easily. NFPA 96 and insurance carriers require hood cleaning certification for all cleaning companies, creating non-discretionary, recurring demand from restaurants, individuals and service contractors. Very few competitors operate at this scale; strong monthly lead flow and surging interest in trades.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Our recent Q3 2025 reached $720k — the highest on record from simply scaling paid ads spend and hiring a 2nd sales person. Current owners are too skeptical of paid ads to scale it themselves despite over 3x ROI on Google Paid ads. Also we have had great traction with new marketing funnels but never had the time to scale. Other expansion opportunities include to larger B2B clients, building out a national Fire Prevention maintenance services company (due to huge bench of subcontractor students all over the US),Spanish-language customers given bilingual courses & team, opening new hands-on training centers (like Canada), etc. Strong upsell paths with new courses plus equipment and chemical sales, with recurring annual recertifications.

About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- The owner wants to retire but is open to supporting as an advisor for 10+ years.
- Transition Support
- Business only requires 5 hrs/week from a new owner to maintain thanks to our capable virtual team. However to grow the business 30% annually would require 15+ hrs/week. Minimum handoff time for new buyers can be done in 1 month but owners will provide comprehensive transition and onboarding support for as long as needed to the new owners.
- Financing Options
- NO SBA, we'd like $5M cash upfront but the remaining $2M can be a Seller's Note
