ESM operates a multi-site sports services network—coaching academies, corporate events, and facility rental—serving over 10,000 participants weekly across 200+ locations. Current operational focus is inward: payroll system migration, data compliance work, and bad-debtor prevention suggest scaling friction in back-office infrastructure. Marketing and app-retention initiatives are gaining traction alongside expansion into Saudi Arabia and a new masters program vertical.
