Description

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, fully licensed vocational trade school specializing in locksmithing. Founded over 50 years ago, the academy boasts a strong reputation and a loyal student pipeline, offering both in-person and online classes in various locksmithing specialties. The curriculum is regularly updated, and small class sizes (8-10 students) ensure personalized training, with students able to retake classes for free and receive ongoing support. The business operates from a 2,000 sq ft facility with a favorable lease and very low overhead, relying on word-of-mouth and referrals for demand. The owner teaches core classes but is supported by two instructors, and prior locksmith experience is not required for a new buyer. The seller is committed to a smooth transition, offering extensive training and support, and the dedicated staff are willing to continue with the new owner. This business is ideal for someone seeking a rewarding, flexible, and stable career in a specialty field. The owner is selling due to retirement.
