A real buyer in a niche market

Very few people buy music schools. We do.

Most founders never see a clean exit. Brokers shop you around; generalist roll-ups don’t get safeguarding, term-time cashflow or parent comms.We offer a quiet, founder-friendly path with a buyer who understands studios, schools work, tutors and shows.

What your exit can look like

We honour your goodwill and help you realise its value.

You’ve built more than a business; you’ve built trust with families and tutors. We keep that intact while giving you a clean, confidential way to step back—and take home a fair return.

  • Complete Cash Buyout of assets and/or shares

  • Brand continuity locally (6–12 months+) to protect goodwill.

  • People-first handover: early tutor offers, clear parent comms, safeguarding/TUPE handled.

  • Your role, your choice: full exit, phased transition or paid advisory.

  • Quiet process: NDA from the start, no brokers, no PR.

• 10+ years operating multi-site schools
• 1,000+ students • 30+ tutors across Channel IslandsInternational buildout underway in UAE.We use the same playbook to protect families, tutors and brand equity during transitions.

FAQs

Are you a broker?
No. We're a direct buyer. You deal with decision-makers.Why is the website vague?
On purpose. Until there’s a mutual NDA, we keep details light to protect both seller and buyer, avoid staff/parent anxiety, and keep talks truly off-market. Once we’ve signed, we share the right info at the right time.What happens to our team and brand?
We truly believe in people first. Early tutor offers, safeguarding/TUPE handled, and brand continuity locally (6–12 months+, if helpful) to protect goodwill.How is price structured?
Based on the structure of the deal - we are cash buyers.We've had an email from you?
We sometimes approach founders quietly when we believe there’s a genuine fit. If you’d rather not engage, just say so - no follow-ups. If you are open to a chat, we’ll send a short mutual NDA first, then a 15-minute intro call to decide if it’s worth continuing. No brokers. No PR. No pressure.
