Filament Business Advisors is excited to announce this unique business for sale. A remotely operable, asset light and infinitely scalable business model offers a new owner a blue ocean of recurring revenue. The business sells required continuing education classes to water and waste professionals in most states through a unique subscription model at an affordable price. Clients are equally divided between the public and private sectors, with over 90% renewing each year for each employee. Companies, states and municipalities buy subscriptions for their employees most of the time. The value proposition allows any employee to take as many classes as he or she wants, when they want, at whatever pace, for the same annual fee. The company itself has no employees, but a handful of industry experts contract to provide content and record the online classes, which are informational and interactive.
The Online Educational Technology sector is on fire. Growth in the US market is projected to reach $445.94 billion by 2029, up from $214.73 billion in 2025, a 20% CAGR. The Continuing Education market, in which working professionals account for 57% of the market share due to mandatory CEU’s, is valued at $70.74 billion in 2025 and is forecasted to reach $120.74 billion by 2030, growing at an 11.29% CAGR. The U.S. water and wastewater treatment market was valued at $113.76 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $206.64 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 6.9%. Needless to say, a motivated owner can ride the wave, but has plenty of room to scale in this sector alone.
Because the founder has other, larger businesses, he spends only a couple of hours a month working with this business, and is looking to retire. A new owner could attend any state’s annual industry trade show to sell the service and grow at little additional marginal cost. Since engineering firms’ and local governments’ employees are required to take these classes, actively marketing to them makes sense. An ambitious owner could utilize the platform, and then identify and develop classes for other trades and professions with similar annual credential requirements.
The right buyer could own a related business in the ed-tech, HR, staffing or other related industries. A tech firm that is looking for scalable, sticky AI applications in tech averse fields could find a world of new clients while streamlining an already efficient business. An engineering, manufacturing or marketing firm that is active in the waste/water space could take market share and become an industry leader. An individual from Corporate America or Government with experience in team training, marketing, continuing or technical education could work from home and own a great niche business with plenty of room for growth.
The seller is happy to train the right buyer and introduce him or her to clients, contractors and other vendors.
