An established brand for high school graduation exam study guides with significant potential for growth

The company up for sale offers learning materials designed to provide targeted support during high school and for preparation for the Abitur. At the core of its offerings are concise study guides that clearly summarize all exam-relevant Abitur material in approximately 80 pages.

The company was founded in 2016 by two medical students and an economist while they were still in school. It began with a biology study guide for about 60 students. Since then, the offering has been continuously expanded to include 12 subjects and serve approximately 5,000 students annually.

The materials were developed in collaboration with teachers. In addition, a network of partner schools in Hesse has been established; these schools purchase the study guides annually and, in some cases, use them in class. Over the years, a regionally recognized brand has been built up that reaches a large number of students with very little marketing effort. In addition to the partner schools, distribution takes place through bookstores—particularly Thalia—as well as through the company’s own online store.

The company achieved steady growth through 2023. Thanks to automation and efficient processes, revenue remained stable despite the founders’ limited time availability. Currently, two part-time employees handle day-to-day operations. The founders’ time commitment is less than five hours per week.

The business model is fundamentally transferable to all German states and offers significant potential for scaling.
