Location Details
A suite inside a busy Inner-West Sydney shopping centre, minutes from the station and surrounded by residential towers. A funded 900-student public primary school (NSW target 2030) and about 2,500 apartments are planned in the catchment.
Potential
Room-hours support well beyond current use: the theoretical weekly grid is about 480 student places and about 100 student-lesson places are used per teaching week, so growth needs no new premises. Levers: filling weekday afternoon gaps, converting the existing waitlist for group piano, and a price list that has not moved for two years. Longer term, a funded 900-student primary school (NSW target 2030) and about 2,500 apartments are planned in the catchment. Marketing is mostly referral.
Skills
No music qualification is required. The owner's role is a weekly dashboard review and a fortnightly pay approval — the platform handles scheduling, reminders, invoicing and prepaid tracking, and the teachers run their own classes. Useful: basic business judgement, comfort with a simple admin system, and a willingness to be present for families. This is a managed asset with documented procedures and a handover, not a job you buy for yourself.
Hours
Weekday afternoons and weekends in term. Owner input: weekly dashboard review plus fortnightly pay approval, ~3 hours.
Lease
To July 2028 with a ~25% rent abatement. Landlord agreed in principle; new lease to buyer settled at a joint meeting.
Employees
14 experienced teachers (11 piano, 3 art), engaged as contractors except the lead teacher, who is employed and stays on under the new owner on contract. Scheduling, attendance, invoicing and the fortnightly pay run are on the platform.
Reason for Sale
We own and run several businesses and are focusing our time on the ones we operate hands-on. This school already runs largely without us — an established teaching team handles the day-to-day lessons and scheduling — which is why it's the right one to pass on. For continuity, our current lead teacher will keep teaching under the new owner on a contract basis. We'll also sign a non-compete (up to 3 years) and provide a full handover during the transition.
About the Business
A systemised music and art school built to run with minimal owner input.
Scheduling, parent messaging, invoicing, prepaid tracking and term enrolments run on a purpose-built platform. The owner's job is a weekly dashboard review and a fortnightly pay approval — about three hours a week, excluding teaching.
Test it first: the public page, sent with the first reply to your enquiry, has a working demo — book a trial, approve it, and watch the confirmation and teacher feedback generate.
Teaching is by 14 teachers (11 piano, 3 art) across five rooms — group and one-to-one piano plus art; students attend once or twice a week and many stay for years.
The numbers are rebuilt, not asserted: every receipt of the last two years (1,307 lines) and every payment is tied to a bank-statement line or, for cash, to the receipt register and the student's signed attendance record. By value 71.6% of receipts match a bank or card-processor line and 28.4% are cash on the register; nothing is unmatched. Management-prepared, not audited — built for your accountant to re-perform.
Earnings two ways, ex-GST. Fully staffed — you teach nothing and every hour is paid for at market: $84,045 (FY2025) and $90,892 (FY2026), average $87,469, about 2.3 times the price; this is the Net Profit figure above. Owner-operated — you teach 10–12 hours a week and run the school: $108,654 and $112,620, average $110,637, about 1.8 times the price. Same eight-line model, every line a live formula.
Prepaid lessons (about $42,500, 93 students at 30 June 2026 — the balance moves with time and is re-cut at completion) transfer funded: deducted from the price at settlement, so the net outlay at completion is roughly $157,500 before stock and other adjustments; no unfunded liability. Funding, not a discount — subject to contract.
Disclosure is staged: this ad and the public page now; the memorandum after a signed confidentiality agreement; the workbook, coded statements and contracts after an indicative offer.
History
Established eight years ago and run by the same owner throughout. It grew from one-to-one piano into group piano and art across five rooms, with a contracted teaching team and a management platform built specifically for it. Enrolment has held between 90 and 104 students per term across the last eight terms.
