A basic example from undergraduate topology that comes to my mind is the theorem on the existence of universal covers.

Theorem. Let $X$ be a topological space. Then, there exists a universal covering space $\pi\colon \tilde{X}\rightarrow X$ if $X$ is connected, locally path connected and semi-locally simply connected.
