Asking Price: £ 99,000 Revenue: £ 106,000 Cash Flow: not disclosed

Business Summary

Business profile:
In 2010 the owners spotted an opportunity in the market for the publication of quality, in- house school magazines. The business provides upper schools with a free of charge, glossy A4 magazine and sells advertising space to cover the print costs and create profit.

The business has grown with ever more schools wishing to have the opportunity of publishing their own journal to showcase the schools achievements.

The magazines each have their own identity and are published three times a year to coincide with the school terms. Consisting of a minimum of 16 pages A4 in full colour the quality of the magazines are highlighted by the glossy art paper that is used for publishing. The magazines have a long shelf life of 17 weeks per issue. The editorial is made up of details of achievements, pictures of award ceremonies, exciting field trips, successful sporting events, helpful information and lucrative advertising space.

The production quality is great; the business gives schools the advantage of lowering their print costs and has the experience to advise schools on the editorial content of the magazines that are always a bright, vibrant, quality publication in an interesting layout and easy to read style the school can be proud of.

This successful business offers a creative, affordable & reliable service. The business has been operating since 2010 and has gone from strength to strength with recommendations generating a vast amount of new and referral business. The business uses high quality printers up and down the country.

Quality Assurance:

The business ensures that printers are selected on the basis that they have IS09002 and that they use FSC accredited papers.

Customer Service:

The business prides itself on its excellent customer service, always going that extra mile to ensure that the schools are always 100% happy with the publication, thus the business delivers total satisfaction.

Key Strengths:

Competition:

When there is available space the business takes out advertisements in their own publications. Advertising requests are sent out from school through parent mail to ask for support from parents that generally yields additional advertisers. Advertising is sold on a 3 term basis and advice is always on hand to assist with the design of advertisements. The business has an excellent website to showcase the quality of its publications.

Expansion Potential:

The business works extremely hard at producing fabulous quality publications and is an opportunity to tap into a captive market of readers. There is huge expansion and franchise potential for this business and if sold to a printing company, massive savings could be made on overheads as the printing would be undertaken in house. Increased sales and profits could be achieved by continuing with the canvassing of advertisers and communicating with the many schools that are contemplating having a magazine published, plus increasing the revenue for each separate magazine and creating more electronic versions and applications. Significant demand in the marketplace ensures this steady business will provide amazing potential for any enthusiastic new owner
