Long established Ltd Co generating excellent advertising income from popular free full-colour A5 local interest magazine with circulation circa 39,000 per month operating from extremely well fitted serviced office premises in convenient commercial location. Comes with all intellectual property rights & business management systems included & lots of further potential for 'hands on' operator or outstanding acquisition for expanding local media solutions provider. Sensibly priced for genuine retirement sale after many successful years trading in same hands with early interest strongly advised REF 2851

Though by its very nature eminently relocatable throughout the region, the company currently operates from premises which occupy an ideal and very convenient trading position among other independent operators in a thriving commercial development situated on the outskirts of the vibrant seaside resort and famous racing town of Redcar, which lies with excellent access both to major road links (A1085, A1042, A1074 and A171 etc.) and to the nearby town of Middlesbrough (approximately 7.5 miles) on the delightful and ever-popular north east coast of England.

We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire a thriving commercial proposition of uncommon quality and outstanding future possibilities, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This very well established and highly regarded limited company currently generates high levels of advertising revenue from the monthly publication of “The Local Answer”, a full colour, A5 sized, free and locally unopposed magazine and handy, retainable business directory brim-full of local news, local interest stories, local “what’s on” guides and advertisements for local businesses.

The Company has a distribution of in the region of thirty-nine thousand magazines delivered largely to private homes in three distinct areas of Cleveland and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic ‘hands on’ purchaser with ample scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible expansion into the publication of similar magazines to other areas throughout the North East region.

The business would also benefit with regard to further development of its web and social media presence in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of advertising revenue it has generated since being established in its present form some sixteen highly successful years ago by the current director, with the aid of an experienced and motivated team of four full-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser.

Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to some similar-sized or larger allied enterprise looking to very significantly increase its existing share of the diverse professional media publishing solutions services market by the acquisition of a dynamic and easily relocatable additional independent operator with a priceless local name, a superb market-leading publication and an already impressive readership base, and we would strongly urge any genuine interested parties to pursue the earliest possible enquiries.

Fitted to high industry specifications throughout, the subject premises are accessed by means of a shared personnel entrance and communal reception area and consist of the main, bright, fully furnished and computerised general administration office.

The office boasts a full complement of individual work desk stations, telephone lines, internet access and full complement of modern, industry-specific business management systems, all of which we understand are to be included in the sale price, along with all intellectual property rights, and further details of which will be made available upon request to any genuine interested parties.
