Profitable Canadian Career College in Fashion & Interior Design
Halladay Education Group (HEG) is pleased to present a confidential opportunity to acquire a profitable and fast-growing private career college specializing in fashion, interior, and lifestyle design. Fully accredited and based in Western Canada, the college offers diploma, certificate, and part-time programs across high-demand design disciplines. It has earned a strong reputation for hands-on training, small class sizes, and strong learner outcomes.
The school’s hybrid delivery model—offering in-person, online, and blended formats—has supported a lean, scalable operation, with 37% of students studying fully online. This enables efficient growth without requiring significant investment in new infrastructure. For strategic buyers, this presents a rare opportunity to acquire a design-focused institution with strong cash flow, scalable programming, and room for continued expansion.
The college has demonstrated impressive performance, with enrollment increasing 149% from 2022 to 2025 and projected to reach 275 students by 2028. Course intakes are forecast to exceed 800 annually by 2028, driven by strong student engagement, repeat registrations, and a proven multi-format delivery model. Revenue increased from $913K in 2022 to $1.4M in 2025 (15 %+ CAGR), and is projected to exceed $2M by 2028, with adjusted EBITDA expected to reach $615K, reflecting a 30% margin.
The institution’s modular, stackable credential model encourages learners to register for multiple courses at once. In 2023 alone, it recorded 273 part-time and 82 full-time course intakes. Rolling admissions and three annual intakes ensure steady cash flow and optimize instructor utilization throughout the year.
With 98% of its students being Canadian, the school is insulated from recent federal restrictions on international study permits that have affected other private colleges. Its leased facilities—modern, purpose-built studio spaces—are secured through 2030 under long-term triple-net agreements, providing both stability and a high-quality student experience.
