$200K Buildout at $19K— Absentee | Martial Arts

Description

Over $200,000 built this martial arts academy in Okemos from scratch — full franchise buildout, equipment, training systems, and 4 years growing an active student base. A buyer acquires all of it at a fraction of that investment, with the operation currently running absentee with 2 staff in place.The academy serves youth and adults from a 5,000 sq ft space in a high-traffic, high-visibility location in Okemos, Ingham County. Multiple revenue streams are active: recurring monthly memberships, youth and adult classes, summer camps, birthday parties, and community events. The franchise system provides structured programming, sales processes, and operational support — allowing a new owner to lead the business without prior martial arts experience. The current owner is selling because the commute has become unworkable given the ages of their children and increasingly demanding family schedules, not due to business performance.Highlights include:$200K invested in franchise fees, buildout, an
