Seeking massage school to purchase... :)
Namaste everyone,
After 8 years of establishing our school in Kathmandu, am looking to return to America and continue our work. If anyone is aware of a massage school that is up for sale or going out of business it would be a major help for us. Purchasing an existing school would give us a "starter kit" as we transition back to America. THANKS for any ideas or leads you may have (plus, if anyone can help us find the school, free massages at our school for life for you... truly :)
Health, Happiness, and Peace,

Dear Alexei,
THANK YOU for the reply and the info, greatly appreciated. :)
I have actually been hoping to find one of the massage schools that may be going out of business, or may have recently gone out of business, to create a "win-win" situation: Would love to buy their business license and equipment. :)
In researching everything, it looks like it is more cost-effective to simply register a new school with new equipment and such. Thanks anyhow Alexei. Keep up the great work!

Cool, good luck, I love your mission. I will say that opening a brand new school is a very risky proposition. The market and regulatory atmosphere in the States has become very difficult to operate in. Also, buying a failing, or failed school is not usually a good idea as there may be reasons besides the management of the school, that it is failing. Your best bet is usually to buy a successful school. Of course this requires some money, or some sort of payment plan.
Best of luck! Please write if I can help you in any way.

Namaste Alexei,
Thank you for the reply and the info, very useful. One aspect of my work is that I start from a different definition and understanding of what "success" is, and build from that. For our school and training the first understanding is that "success" for us is creating a platform and environment that provides accessibility, opportunity, and healing for our students. That is our metric of "success" as an organization. The second portion to support that process is to have a financially viable structure, however, this is built upon principles of "social entrepreneurship". Will keep you posted on the process! Look forward to meeting at the American Massage Conference next year... :) Take care, Rob

Hello,
I opened up a Massage School in beatuiful Colorado Springs, CO in 2012. We are regulated by the Colorado Department of Education, Division of Private Occupational Schools. It is a 9 month program certifying students in Massage Therapy with an area of focus on either Easter Therapy Modaliites, Spa Therapies, or Medical Massage. The school will be graduating its frist student this July, at which point I will need to sell the business. Please contact me if you would like more information.
Kindly,
