Creating a confidential listing on ESL365 is free. A success fee applies only when a sale is completed. There are no upfront fees, monthly subscription costs, or charges for receiving inquiries.

Your business name, location details, and financial information are disclosed progressively through a tiered system. Tier 1 shows only general details (size, revenue range, location area). Serious, vetted buyers unlock additional details only with your approval.

Buyers complete a verified profile including their acquisition budget, preferred location, school type, and investment timeline. Identity verification is required before accessing detailed business financials. This ensures sellers are dealing with serious, qualified buyers.

Timeline varies by business size and complexity. Most transactions on ESL365 complete in 6-16 weeks from listing to signed agreement. Smaller single-campus academies typically close faster than multi-campus operations.
