A long-established aesthetician and cosmetic education business with over two decades of operating history is an opportunity that represents a 19% minority equity investment to support its next phase of growth. This is not a full business sale, but an opportunity to participate alongside existing ownership in a proven, service-driven model with defined infrastructure and expansion plans.

The business operates within a specialized segment of vocational education, supported by spa services and retail product sales, creating a diversified and integrated revenue base. Education programs represent approximately 80% of total revenue, complemented by student-performed spa services and on-site retail. This structure supports multiple revenue streams while maintaining strong margins, including approximately 90% on services and 50% on retail.

The model benefits from recurring engagement, with spa clients at approximately 80% and student-related activity at approximately 70%. The business has demonstrated a three-year average revenue of approximately $1.17M. A recent decline in revenue is directly attributed to the temporary loss of a major third-party funding source, which historically represented approximately 44–48% of total revenue, rather than a decline in core operations.

Projected performance indicates revenue of approximately $1.44M in 2026 and $2.28M in 2027, with projected net income of approximately $605,607 in 2026. The anticipated reinstatement of the funding source is identified as a primary driver for revenue recovery and forward growth.

Operations are supported by defined systems and infrastructure, including QuickBooks, Square, and SOP-driven workflows. Inventory management is streamlined with approximately one-week lead times. The business employs 9 individuals, including 6 full-time, 2 part-time, and 1 contractor, with key roles in education, admissions, and business operations. The current owner remains actively involved, working approximately 40 hours per week with a focus on scaling, outreach, and operational efficiency.

The facility consists of approximately 6,410 square feet with a lease in place through June 2029 and two additional five-year renewal options. 

Customers include students seeking certification and spa clients receiving services, with acquisition driven through marketing campaigns, social media, high school outreach, career events, and community programs. The business emphasizes hands-on training and career readiness, contributing to ongoing demand within the sector.

The intent of this partnership is to provide working capital to support stabilization and execute identified growth initiatives, including program expansion, funding reinstatement, and scaling enrollment. The existing owner will continue leading day-to-day operations, providing continuity and alignment as the business progresses toward its projected performance.

This opportunity is presented through a confidential, broker-led process. Qualified parties seeking a structured partnership alongside an established operator are encouraged to inquire for additional information and next steps.
