School businesses can achieve robust profitability quickly, targeting an EBITDA margin above 80% within the first year (2026), according to current forecasts This margin is driven by low variable costs, totaling only 160% of revenue in 2026 Fixed operating costs are manageable at around $272,600 annually To sustain this, founders must focus on scaling volume while systematically reducing transaction fees and acquisition costs, which are the primary variable levers The goal is to maximize the high contribution margin (840%) by increasing the Occupancy Rate from 400% in 2026 to 850% by 2030\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-section image-1_new_design\"
