Reason for Sale
The founder is seeking a like-minded strategic partner to join the venture at this pivotal stage, bringing additional expertise, capital, and support as it progresses through TEQSA registration and toward its first intake. This is not a distress sale; the founder intends to remain closely involved and is looking for the right partner to help accelerate growth, not to exit.
About the Business
This is a fully Australian-owned education venture, several years in development, built to address a genuine and growing workforce skills gap in a high-demand sector. The business is currently progressing through TEQSA's registration process as a higher education provider, with its application in the final stages of preparation for lodgement.
The venture has been founded and led by an experienced education entrepreneur, set up with confidence drawn from a previously successful higher education establishment, and supported by a team of academics and industry leaders with proven track records of impact. A well-established, formally constituted governance structure is already in place, with highly respected individuals overseeing strategic direction.
The business's curriculum and strategy have been informed by rigorous market research and strong strategic and business planning, resulting in a market-ready course design that integrates broad knowledge with critical thinking, problem-solving, leadership, and entrepreneurship competencies.
Rather than relying heavily on external consultants, the venture is supported by a lean, in-house team of experts and leaders who deliver the bulk of the work directly, keeping the business agile and cost-efficient.
The founders hold a clear vision for scaling the venture: establishing multiple campuses across Australia, followed by overseas expansion subject to regulatory approval, with a longer-term pathway into Masters and higher degree by research programs.
This opportunity is offered as a 10-20% equity stake (existing shares), priced at $250,000 for 10%, scaling to $500,000 for 20%, suited to an investor or strategic partner who shares a genuine passion for making a global impact through education and maximising positive impact for community and environment.
Full details, including sector specifics, governance structure, and course information, are available to qualified buyers upon execution of a confidentiality agreement.
History
The company has spent several years in dedicated development: conducting market research, building a market-ready curriculum, establishing formal governance, and assembling a founding team of academics and industry leaders. It is now progressing through TEQSA's registration process ahead of its planned launch.
