Description
As a nationally recognized and respected organization, this company was founded to ensure that every child, regardless of their abilities, receives a quality education. Supporting and advocating for educators working with students with special needs, the company offers a range of resources, training and networking opportunities. Benefits to its members include professional development seminars, publications, and access to research and legislative updates all of which contribute to the company’s rich IP content.
Having initially generated revenue through membership and other membership-related sales, the organization shifted its focus about 5 years ago to grow its board certification programs and to diversify products to expand beyond the core revenue source of membership. With a new certification program under development due for launch Summer 2024 and a new professional development program planned for the Fall of 2024, the company continues to expand and generate new revenue streams which will be beneficial for the brand and a new owner.
Over the past five years, the organization has experienced remarkable growth having increased gross sales by 77.2%, and gross profit by 81% over this time period. This surge in demand, driven by a larger student population in need of special services and a limited supply of qualified teachers, underscores the increasing need for the organization's offerings as well as unrealized growth potential.
This is an outstanding business opportunity for any buyer looking to acquire a successful business in the special needs education space with rich IP content and a rare national network of special education teachers and organizations!
