Two Sydney CRICOS RTOs. Broad Scope & Shared Operations in One Deal (REF: 1586)

Potential

The immediate opportunity is to use two complementary scopes and brands to build a longer student pathway across English, care, business, IT, hospitality and cookery. Vendor material reports combined approved Sydney enrolment capacity of 1,900 and approximately 150 active agency agreements, subject to buyer verification. A capable operator could deepen agent activity, diversify source countries, reactivate selected English programs and develop local fee-for-service or employer training with childcare, aged-care, hotel and hospitality groups.

Lease

Campus lease is documented to 4 Jan 2027. Kitchen occupancy, renewal and assignment terms require buyer verification.

Employees

Seller material describes an integrated team of approximately 10 staff across both colleges, covering administration, accounts, IT, academic management, marketing, training and student support. Roles and employment terms require due diligence.

Reason for Sale

The active owner has worked in international education since 2010 and has chosen to divest after many years building and operating the colleges. The vendor believes the next stage is better led by a buyer with fresh marketing capability, strong education-agent connections and the resources to grow both platforms. The businesses are offered together through a coordinated share sale. The owner has indicated a willingness to support a suitable buyer through an agreed handover for continuity.

History

This transaction brings together two established education providers. One has delivered vocational education since the late 1990s, while the second has operated since 2016. Together they have developed recognised brands, international education-agent relationships and graduate networks across Asian and South American markets. Around two years ago, the colleges consolidated into one Sydney CBD campus, integrating staff, classrooms, administration, finance, CRM, Moodle and student support while retaining two separate RTO and CRICOS registrations.

About the Business

Buying one established CRICOS RTO is difficult enough. This $1,000,000 opportunity packages two operating Sydney providers into one coordinated share sale, giving the buyer two separate registrations, complementary scope and a shared operating platform.

BUYER HIGHLIGHTS

• Two established RTO and CRICOS companies offered together
• Seller-reported FY25 combined revenue of $6,214,742
• Seller-reported adjusted EBITDA of $906,135, subject to full due diligence
• Broad scope across care, business, management, IT, hospitality, cookery and English
• Shared Sydney CBD campus with integrated staff and systems
• Approximately 150 active agency agreements reported across both colleges
• Combined approved Sydney enrolment capacity reported at 1,900
• Established brands and graduate networks across Asian and South American markets

The scopes complement each other. One platform is weighted toward early childhood, individual support, ageing support, community services, human resources and leadership. The other adds information technology, commercial cookery, kitchen management, hospitality and management qualifications. English language programs can support entry pathways into longer vocational enrolments.

The colleges share administration, accounts, academic management, marketing, training, student support, CRM, Moodle and PRISMS processes. This gives a buyer established infrastructure without having to build two separate teams from scratch. Vendor material describes an integrated team of approximately 10 staff and long-standing agent networks.

The deal is positioned on two operating platforms, not licences alone. The FY25 figures are compelling, but buyers should test revenue recognition, agent commissions, student prepayments, receivables, liabilities, working capital and the proposed cash-free, debt-free position.
