Sports Coaching Company for Sale in Roswell, USA

NCAA-compliant app connects parents of youth athletes with local NCAA athletes for sports training.
Our company operates within the exciting intersection between sports and technology, providing compliant mobile solutions to NCAA athletes, universities, and young, aspiring athletes. - In short, our platform allows NCAA athletes (around 40-50) to connect with local parents of youth athletes and earn money providing one-on-one training services to those youth athletes. Importantly, we presented our platform to the NCAA, and Division I, II, III institutions throughout the country (including the University of Georgia, Penn State, Georgia Tech, University of Florida, University of Illinois and the list goes on), all of which confirmed the platform is compliant with NCAA rules, allowing us to on-board NCAA athletes. We maintain a positive, open dialogue with the NCAA and its member institutions. - There are approx. 200+ users signed up on our platform which includes 40-50 NCAA athletes and 150-160 parents of young sports enthusiasts. The classes are offered offline and the venue is decided by the athletes and the parents. We charge a subscription fee for NCAA athletes to register and provide services through our platform and the parents are charged a service fee by the athletes out of which we take a commission. - During our market testing phase, about 11% of the NCAA athletes at a "test University" signed up to provide training services. With over 480,000 NCAA athletes in the US, we are excited to maintain that customer acquisition rate. Athletes around the country are beginning to sign up through organic, word of mouth interest in the app, and compliance offices at various universities have begun to organically reach out about including their athletes. - Our reputation as a trustworthy platform is beginning to pay dividends. The platform is fully functional and has facilitated training sessions in our test markets. The key now is sales and marketing execution. We could not be more thrilled about the timing, given the upcoming NCAA rule changes regarding name, image, and likeness of NCAA athletes. Our company has been and will continue to be a part of that conversation. - Importantly, we are an early-stage startup. Thus, up to this point, most of our time was spent testing the platform, ensuring that a market exists, and establishing a trustworthy relationship with the NCAA and member schools - all of which has been successful. That said, because our business model relies on volume and because testing thus far remained intentionally small scale (specially with COVID-19 still hindering the sports world), our revenue is low. However, as word begins to spread, and as we refine our sales and marketing efforts to ensure the app reaches more athletes, we expect revenue to multiply rapidly. In short, we want to ensure we have the resources to support the impending marketing efforts and subsequent influx of users. - As a company providing a solution to the hot button "student athlete compensation" issue, our brand and solution has the potential to go viral - several small media outlets have already written stories about our mission.

  • 70+ Investor Views
1. Logiscool is a quickly expanding international franchise network of fun-based digital literacy, coding, robotics, and AI education schools. Our unique methodology and bespoke proprietary platforms give children and teens the knowledge and skills to be confident in the digital world. 2. We designed our platform to address a specific challenge rampant across children’s digital literacy education. Simply put – too many providers use ad-hoc open market solutions stitched together with no consistency. This can provide a great introduction to technology concepts for children but makes it extremely difficult to advance a child’s knowledge seamlessly. Our award-winning curriculum and platform are integrated and unified over a learning journey that is well documented to advance a child’s deep understanding of technology. We are the only provider in the after-school children’s digital literacy space to have such a solution. 3. Our tailor-made award-winning curriculum suits all ages from 6 to 18 years and parents can easily follow their progress. We instruct children all around the world, over 220,000 to date, with remarkable results. 4. Our partners deliver education typically in an after-school environment, both at dedicated learning centers, schools’ premises, and via live virtual classrooms. The average dedicated facility is approximately 100 sqm and when well established, should have between 100 to 300+ active learning students at any moment in time. We have multiple partners that operate multi-unit learning centres and others that support the growth of the brand in a region via area development and/or master franchise models. 5. Logiscool is looking for franchise partners who would like to make a real difference in their territory with this great, meaningful, and successful franchise business opportunity. 6. Global HQ is Budapest, Hungary as we are a Hungarian company. We have a USA subsidiary, very small, which we are now leading and will be building. 7. We are required to register our franchise concept (like all franchisors must do in the USA) with the Federal Trade Commission and have a Franchise Disclosure Document full compete, which has been done. We are actively making a few amendments to our Franchise Disclosure Document with our USA legal firm, which is allowed and common.

Investing in Businesses: A Comprehensive Guide

Investing in businesses is a strategic endeavor that can significantly grow your wealth if approached knowledgeably. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting, understanding the intricacies of businesses for investment is crucial.

Understanding Business Investment

Business investment refers to the allocation of capital to a company with the expectation of receiving financial returns. This can occur through direct investment in a private company or by purchasing stocks and shares of publicly traded businesses.

Types of Business Investments

  1. Equity Investment: This involves purchasing shares of a company. Equity investors become partial owners and have potential returns through dividends and appreciation of the stock value.

  2. Debt Investment: Investors lend money to businesses in exchange for interest income. This can include corporate bonds or business loans.

  3. Venture Capital and Angel Investing: These are types of equity investment where investors provide capital to startups and small businesses that have potential for growth.

  4. Crowdfunding: An innovative way to invest in businesses where multiple investors contribute small amounts of capital via platforms like Kickstarter or Indiegogo.

Advantages of Investing in Businesses

  • Potential for High Returns: Businesses have the potential to grow substantially, resulting in significant returns on investment.
  • Portfolio Diversification: Investing in various businesses can diversify an investment portfolio, reducing overall risk.
  • Active Involvement: Investors can actively participate in their investments, offering guidance and support to businesses.

Risks Involved in Business Investment

Even though investing in businesses offers attractive returns, it involves certain risks:

  • Market Volatility: Economic changes can affect business profitability and stock prices.
  • Failure Risk: Especially with startups, there's always a risk of failure resulting in loss of investment.
  • Regulatory Issues: Changes in laws and regulations can impact businesses adversely.

How to Choose the Right Business for Investment

  • Research and Analysis: Understand the business model, industry sector, and financial health of the business.
  • Growth Potential: Evaluate the business's potential for growth and scalability.
  • Management Quality: A competent management team can greatly influence a business’s success.
  • Market Trends: Stay updated with market trends and economic conditions that might affect the business.
  • Competitive Advantage: Ensure the business has a unique selling proposition or competitive edge.

Conclusion

Investing in businesses for investment can be incredibly rewarding. However, it requires a thorough understanding of the market, diligent research, and careful selection. By weighing the potential benefits against the risks and conducting due diligence, investors can enhance their ability to make profitable investments. Always consider consulting a financial advisor to tailor your investment strategy to your personal financial goals and risk tolerance.

Invest wisely, and watch your investments flourish!
