Listing Type (?): Solid!

📸 Snapshot:

A purpose-driven telehealth business offering voice training for transgender and non-binary clients. Revenue comes from 1:1 therapy sessions and scalable group programs, all delivered online by commission-based speech pathologists. The operational model is lean and low-risk—clinicians only get paid when revenue comes in, and the owner puts in just ~3 hours/week.

✅ The Good:

  • Commission-Only Delivery: No fixed payroll—clinicians earn a revenue share, keeping overhead tightly aligned to income.

  • Low Involvement: The owner works 3 hours per week. Admin is handled by a $10/hr virtual assistant.

  • Scalable Group Format: Group sessions are already live and offer strong margins.

  • Deep Purpose & Niche Positioning: Trusted brand with a focused service offering and real impact.

⚠️ Watch Out:

  • Geographic Limits: Currently Australia-based. Why hasn’t this expanded to the U.S.? Regulatory friction? Licensing hurdles?

  • Build vs. Buy?: If breaking into the U.S. requires a fresh regulatory effort, a buyer might consider starting from scratch.

  • Niche Dependency: The brand's strength is its focus—but it may limit wider market pivot options without rebranding.

💡 Bottom Line:
This one’s solid. A lean, mission-driven business with recurring demand and a low-risk cost structure. The main question is international expansion—but if you’re bullish on the niche and willing to explore the U.S. angle, this is a smart, purposeful buy.

Note: I was torn between classifying this as solid or small growth opp. My thought is that while this business is located in Australia (a small market) this business is 4-5 years established, has a good model, and has a good value-add service that isn’t is easily ‘knock off-able’. Australia may be is a small market but likely still room to grow this revenue a few times over, and everyone speaks English so owning it as an America (most of my readers) is practical.
