Reason
A 12-year-old coaching business with a 65% margin and a small ask, though mentors deliver the work and seasonality is unclear.

Ask the seller

  1. Was last month's zero revenue seasonal, and how is revenue spread across the admissions year?
  2. Are the mentors contractors who would stay after a sale, and how are they paid?
  3. Where do clients come from today: referrals, search or applicant forums?

Short entry: the listing gives figures only.

Acumen Wire labels

Every business here gets one label: the reason it made the list. Listings that fit none are left out.

Solid Business, Fair Price
Established (5+ years), profitable (20%+ margin), steady, and fairly priced. A serious candidate to buy.
Solid Business, High Price
Meets the same quality bar, but the asking price is hard to justify.
Worth Studying
An interesting model or growth story, or a larger business that doesn't meet the Solid bar. Better to learn from than to buy.
Small Growth Play
A small working business ($25K+ revenue, $10K+ profit) that a skilled marketer could grow.
