How do I sell my gym in Singapore without members and staff finding out?
Off-market. Nothing is publicly listed and nothing carries your name. Early materials use a reference code rather than your studio name and address, buyers see identifying details only after signing an NDA you have approved by name, and you choose when your team and members are told.
How is a gym or fitness studio valued in Singapore?
On normalised earnings, then tested against the quality of the membership base. Buyers look at the split between recurring memberships and one-off packages, retention and churn, how much revenue follows named trainers, remaining lease tenure, and the level of unexpired prepaid credits they would inherit. A studio with the same revenue can be worth very different amounts depending on that mix. We give you a written valuation under NDA, for a fixed fee credited against our success fee if you sell with us.
Do unexpired memberships and packages hurt my sale price?
They are a real liability, because the buyer takes on the obligation to deliver sessions already paid for. That does not make the business unsellable. It makes early quantification essential. Presented clearly at the start it is simply a line in the deal. Discovered during due diligence it becomes a reason to reprice.
Who buys gyms and fitness studios in Singapore?
Multi-site fitness operators and groups adding locations, franchise operators, and individual owner-buyers moving into the sector or expanding from one site. Groups pay for systems and a clean recurring base. Owner-buyers pay for a business they can run personally.
What does Clearmere charge?
Our sale fee is success-based and paid on completion: no sale, no fee. A written valuation is a separate fixed fee, agreed and paid before we start, and credited in full against our success fee if you sign with us within 6 months and the sale completes. The first conversation, a short questionnaire and our written recommendation on which valuation fits are free and carry no obligation.
My studio depends on a few star trainers. Does that kill the deal?
No, but it shapes the structure. Where members follow named trainers, buyers manage that risk through retention terms, transition periods or deferred consideration. Raising it yourself at the start, with a plan, is far better than a buyer finding it in due diligence and using it to cut the price.
