FAQ
- Which regulator should I check before buying an education business?Start with the programmes offered. Registration or accreditation may involve a provincial education department, DHET, Umalusi, CHE or QCTO. Match every qualification, delivery site and assessment activity to the correct current approval.
- Will the seller’s accreditation automatically transfer to me?Do not assume it will. Verify the approved legal entity, programme, qualification, site, delivery mode and expiry directly in the regulator’s register. Obtain written confirmation of any ownership-change, amendment or fresh-application process before completion.
- How should student fees and advance payments be checked?Reconcile enrolments, contracts, invoices, receipts, bursaries, refunds and payment plans by learner and programme. Separate earned tuition from deferred income and calculate the cost of completing courses already sold before setting working capital.
- Which staff records matter in an education-business purchase?Verify lecturer, assessor and moderator qualifications required for each programme, together with employment terms and registration where applicable. Identify courses dependent on one individual and review Section 197 consequences, leave, disputes and contractor classifications.
- What POPIA risks arise from learner records?Education businesses may process identity, assessment and children’s information. Review lawful bases, parental or guardian arrangements, access controls, retention, breach history and processor contracts before transferring learner files, learning platforms or marketing databases.
- Which premises and delivery assets should I inspect?Confirm zoning, occupancy, fire and workplace compliance for each approved site. Check leases, classrooms, laboratories, equipment, software licences and online-platform capacity against accreditation conditions, learner numbers and courses scheduled after completion.
