Established in 2009, this licensed childcare and youth sports academy is a well-known, community-rooted operation serving families throughout the Tampa area. Located on high-traffic Sheldon Road, the business is strategically positioned within a 5-mile radius of more than 25 public and private schools, providing direct access to a dense and consistent family demographic.
The academy currently operates after-school and summer camp programs and has 105 children enrolled, with licensing capacity for up to 150 students. This built-in capacity provides immediate room for revenue growth without major additional infrastructure investment.
The business generated approximately $475,000 in gross revenue and produces strong Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE), reflecting owner compensation and discretionary add-backs. Financials are clean and available to qualified buyers.
The sale includes all furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E), making this a fully turnkey opportunity. Included in the purchase:
Three (3) 15-passenger vans for school pickups and transportation
Fully furnished classrooms with age-appropriate materials
Sports training equipment and athletic program assets
Administrative office equipment and operational systems
Established childcare licensing and infrastructure
An experienced on-site manager is in place and expected to remain, providing operational continuity and reducing transition risk. The owner will assist with a smooth transition, including onboarding, vendor introductions, and operational guidance.
Significant growth opportunities exist for a new owner, including:
Increasing enrollment toward the 150-student licensed capacity
Adding Preschool classrooms
Implementing a VPK (Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten) program
Expanding structured sports performance training
Introducing specialty enrichment programs
Increasing marketing and community partnerships
With strong visibility, transportation capability, established systems, and expansion capacity already approved through licensing, this business offers a compelling opportunity for an owner-operator, childcare operator seeking growth, or investor looking for a scalable platform.
After successfully building the academy as a family-driven business for over 15 years, the owner is pursuing new opportunities and seeking the right buyer to continue growing its impact in the community.
