Fast-Growing Bali Chess Academy Seeking Growth Partner

We operate a fast-growing chess academy in Bali, providing structured training programs through partnerships with international schools as well as private classes and tournaments. The business currently works with 8 schools across key areas including Canggu, Sanur, and Uluwatu, serving a growing base of students.

The academy generates approximately IDR 60–70 million in monthly revenue, with consistent net profit in the range of IDR 30–40 million per month. Demand is steady, with additional revenue spikes during school holidays through camps, tournaments, and seasonal programs.

The business is at a strong growth stage, with clear opportunities to expand into additional international schools across Bali. Demand for structured extracurricular activities continues to grow, particularly within the international school segment. Expansion into new locations, combined with holiday programs and online offerings, creates multiple scalable revenue streams.

The business is currently founder-led, with a small operational team delivering classes and managing school relationships. The next phase of growth involves strengthening the team structure and implementing systems to support scaling and reduce dependency on the founder.

We are offering a 49% equity stake in exchange for an investment of IDR 350–500 million. The founder will retain 51% ownership and full operational control, with the investor acting in a strategic, non-executive capacity.

The founder will remain actively involved in the business, ensuring continuity and leading growth initiatives. The investor will receive regular updates and have visibility into performance, while not being involved in day-to-day operations.
