Falcon Commercial is delighted to offer for sale this highly regarded Cambridge-based Book publisher. The business was established in 1993 and has been successfully run by our clients since 2013. It is now only being made available due to retirement.

The company is based on the philosophy that they look to nurture new and rare talent in all sectors. This has gained them a widely recognised reputation as one of the leading co-partnership publishing houses. The strength of the company rests on the satisfaction of its authors and the quality of the books they produce.

Our clients have years of experience in navigating the publishing industry and work as a full one-stop shop for clients who can be either well-established or first-time authors that are largely unrecognised by the big publishing houses.

They offer several different publishing types to their clients which include Subsidy Publishing, Non-Subsidy Publishing and Self Publishing.

Authors’ books are then made available to purchase on their own e-commerce website along with other platforms that include Amazon.

This fantastic business opportunity would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with ample scope for continued growth along with the fact that it can be easily relocated and run from any suitable location.

The business could also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing services, both through its informative dedicated website and to further development of its social media presence, in order to improve upon the already very respectable levels of turnover it has achieved
