Established Language and IT Training School for Sale

Attractive Business Succession Opportunity with an Excellent Reputation and Significant Growth Potential

The company offered for sale was founded 35 years ago and has since built an outstanding reputation extending well beyond the region. Thanks to its many years of experience, broad range of services and qualified team, the business enjoys a solid market position and a loyal customer base.

Language School

The language school offers a comprehensive range of courses in Italian, German, French and English. Its educational programmes cover all proficiency levels, from beginner and intermediate courses to advanced training and preparation for university-level language requirements.

Around 15 experienced and qualified language teachers prepare students specifically for internationally recognised language examinations in the four main languages. In addition, courses are offered in approximately 20 other languages, with a particular focus on practical everyday communication. Flexible online courses further complement the programme.

Thanks to established partnerships and an extensive network of contacts, the school also arranges language stays at various locations throughout Italy, some of which include personal on-site support. This business segment offers additional growth potential and could be further developed and expanded in the future.

The range of services is rounded off by professional translation services for documents, certificates and official records, including the necessary certifications and apostilles.

IT Training School

The IT training division offers a wide range of educational and professional development opportunities. These include basic computer courses for Windows and Mac OS, training in all major Microsoft Office applications, as well as specialised courses in image editing, Photoshop, Java programming and CAD design.

Established Business with Attractive Acquisition Opportunities

The company is firmly established in the Canton of Ticino and benefits from a high level of brand recognition and an excellent reputation.

The existing training facilities can continue to be used as part of the acquisition. Alternatively, there is an opportunity to take over premises in a centrally located new building.

A particular advantage for prospective buyers is that previous industry experience or personal involvement in the day-to-day operations is not required. The highly experienced and well-established team can be retained, ensuring continuity of business operations.

To facilitate a smooth business succession, the current owner is also available to provide support and guidance throughout the handover process.

This opportunity is also attractive to international investors. If required, contacts and assistance can be provided in connection with the necessary permits and residency arrangements.

Purchase Prices and Acquisition Options

The business and its associated properties can be acquired separately or as a complete package.
The purchase prices are structured as follows:

Acquisition Item                                                                            Purchase Price

Educational activities / Business                                                     CHF 1'500'000.–
Training premises in Ascona (condominium ownership)                CHF    600'000.–
Villa in Calabria, Italy (location for language stays)                        CHF    900'000.–

Total purchase price                                                                    CHF 3'000'000.–

The acquisition of the educational business is independent of the purchase of the properties. Prospective buyers therefore have the flexibility to choose whether they wish to acquire the business only, individual properties or the entire package.

Acquiring the complete package offers a unique opportunity to take over and further develop an educational business with a 35-year track record, together with its associated training and accommodation properties.

This also makes the opportunity particularly attractive to international investors, as it allows for either a straightforward business acquisition or a comprehensive investment including real estate.
