Business Opportunities Journal was one of the early pioneers in the business opportunities industry. It started as a newsletter in 1969, changed to a tabloid in 1972, and in 2001 the publication was put on www.BOJ.com. A monthly magazine was also printed each month in 2002 and 2003. The publications have not printed for approximately four years but a new owner could start them again if desired. The website is still very much active with 250,000-300,000 hits monthly for the past several years. Currently articles and advertisements are added and removed by a hired company. The opportunity for resurrecting this brand name is great as there has been no sales effort, no staff or no hands on management for over four years. Image all the “pay for” advertising possibilities associated with these websites. Revenues back in 2000 were over $500,000. but current sales are nominal due to lack of attention to the business. The assets included in this sale are four websites (BOJ.com, BusinessOpportunitiesJournal.net, FranchiseOpporrtunitiesJournal.net, FranchiseOpportunitiesJournal.com), three publications (Business Opportunities Journal, Franchise Opportunities Journal, Real Estate Journal), trade names, trademarks, customer lists, books and records. Owner is currently retired and wants to see the BOJ.com publishing flourish again.

Established in 1996, owned and operated by present owner for 7 years (since September, 2000).  This is a professionally licensed massage therapy school offering training, courses, and other related services to enhance business income. Well-regarded, turnkey operation.  Located in Orange County, Southern California. This business and school features a professional massage lab room, and space for classroom instruction in professional massage therapy.  Replaceable inventory is minimal.

The existing graduates have been consistently praised to the seller for their quality and professionalism by their employers, including naturopathic clinics, wellness centers, chiropractic offices, sports and fitness centers, beauty and skin care salons, professional massage establishments, and day spas.  Elite local and regional employers of the school’s graduates include St. Joseph Hospital, Glen Ivy Day Spa, and other facilities.  Other graduates have developed a lucrative private practice upon completion of program(s).

There is also a special “Earn as You Learn” initiative, with a lower number of class hours required for initial certification.  Unlike other schools, the students do not have to incur sizable student loans before they are able to achieve professional massage therapy employment.  The instruction is arranged to help students realize part-time work quickly, to gain income to contribute to further their education at the school.  Discounts are offered for full payment upon enrollment, plus a payment plan with down payment is also offered.

The popularity of professional massage therapy has greatly increased in recent years as part of the increase in alternative medicine and spa therapies. There has been extensive media coverage and advertising highlighting massage pictures, images and spa facilities.  The widespread acceptance and affordability of spa services with the opening and expansion of many massage and spa businesses, including national franchises, makes massage training and certification valuable and in demand.

The present owner is offering to continue to help out with consultations, and as needed by the new owner. For example, a new owner or his/her designees would need to take a municipal Operator’s Permit Exam for Massage, and separately, the school is also approved by the California State Department of Rehabilitation for teaching blind and other challenged students.  The Office Manager could stay on, or a new owner with certain skills could perform the Office Manager duties as well.  Seeking retirement, owner is very motivated to sell.
