Specialist in in-house business language training

The company offers business language training at all levels (based on the CEFR classification). After determining the participant’s starting level, the desired target level is also established. The company provides both individual and group training sessions (up to 8 people). The training always uses business- or industry-specific documents and exercises, ensuring that the sessions are highly practical. This can include general training or more specialized training for sales staff, engineers, and so on. Significant attention is paid to the cultural aspects of the target language’s country.

Each year, this involves several dozen training sessions for a limited number of clients. Although virtually all common languages are offered, the training primarily focuses on Dutch, English, German, and French.

Organization
There are no full-time employees. To deliver the training courses, the company collaborates with a dedicated group of freelance language trainers. This allows the company to be flexible in terms of capacity and to determine, on a client-by-client or assignment-by-assignment basis, which trainer is the best fit.

Distinctive Strengths
The company’s unique selling point lies primarily in offering fully customized solutions. This means that training materials are always tailored to the client’s specific needs (such as technical drawings, manuals, quotes, and meeting minutes). In addition, the company is committed to taking the burden off its clients’ shoulders.

Clients and Markets
Clients are (corporate) companies that operate internationally and recruit international staff. The participant base is broad, ranging from executives, management, and highly educated knowledge workers to technicians. The company does not have an active marketing or sales strategy.

Financial Data
In 2025, revenue of €205,000 was generated (average of €175,000 over the 2023–2025 period). After deducting the cost of goods sold (trainer fees and teaching materials), a gross margin of 61% remained in 2025 (average for the period 2023–2025: 58%). In 2025, a profit of over €100,000 was recorded (before owner’s compensation).

Buyer Profile
The most logical buyer is an existing company active in the language training sector or, more broadly, in the business services industry. This is also an excellent opportunity for an MBI candidate who can accelerate the company’s growth with fresh commercial drive.
