I've run the numbers, it's borderline viable, if you can get some professionals using the facility for training it becomes borderline profitable.
Add additional revenue streams from sales, and it becomes profitable.
key aspect is capitalization, if the business is started with borrowed money it's far more risky.
but if you had a couple hundred thousand sitting around, you could probably get your money back out over a 10 year operational period.
