Starling Corporate is proud to present a well-established publisher of monthly, free-distribution community magazines serving affluent areas of Northwest England. With a history spanning over fifteen years, the company has built a trusted portfolio of five titles delivered to approximately 25,000 homes each month. Income is generated exclusively from local advertisers, with an exceptional rate of recurring business exceeding 90%, testament to the loyalty the magazines command among their readers and the local business community.
The business presents a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, low-overhead publishing concern with minimal barriers to entry and significant untapped growth potential. Operating from modest, flexible premises, the company generates consistent profitability with a gross profit margin of over 50% and a net profit of approximately £49,000 for the financial year ending March 2025.
The company operates a highly efficient and flexible business model. Staff work on a hybrid basis, splitting their time between a small, ground-floor office in Helsby and their homes. Editorial tasks, including compiling stories, sourcing pictures, designing features and page layout, are handled by one director. The other director manages the business’s accounts, oversees advertising sales, and organises the distribution of the magazines to a network of deliverers.
With both directors seeking retirement, this business is being offered for sale to a new owner who can bring fresh enthusiasm and investment to take the titles to the next level.
