Selling details
Type of shares
This is some text inside of a div block.
Reason for selling
Have been running this for 8 years and have built a fantastic online business. I am at a stage in my life where I need to purchase a larger family home for my growing young family. I don't want to sell the business as we have so many opportunities for growth but I need to release some equity for personal reasons.
Preferred acquirer
I am looking for a silent investor as we have a manager who looks after staff and our projects. I have a skilled technical team member who runs the other elements of the business. We have a marketing agency and accountants. I run the overall strategy and know the industry extremely well and would like to continue propelling us forward.
Aspirations & growth opportunities
I would like to turn the business into a £1M per year business within the next 12 months. We have the plan in place for how to get year. To take us beyond this figure we have the following plans: - writing coaching via cohorts - marketing courses for authors - a traditional publishing arm to the business - expanding the author websites we offer for authors - expanding beyond the complete publishing packages we supply to offering services on an individual basis - NFT's for the publishing industry (either helping authors to make sense of this space or consulting for publishing companies on how to use this technology)
