The company is an EdTech company providing a cloud-based suite of creative and collaborative digital tools used to support teaching, learning, assessment, and digital literacy in primary schools. The platform is utilised day-to-day in schools and is deeply embedded into workflows nationwide, with expectations that revenue will remain stable for the foreseeable future.
The company has spent the last few years investing heavily in developing the software, particularly the parent side. Now that this is in place, there is a significant opportunity for the right buyer to access a large customer base of 7,000 UK schools and several long-standing Government and local authority relationships.
There is now scope to benefit from opportunities for geographic expansion, particularly in Scotland, where there is interest at a national level. Potentially the biggest opportunity is entering the US market, which is around five times that of the UK, and exploring opportunities with international schools. This could increase profits substantially, as all additional revenue will turn into profit.
The company is being offered for sale to facilitate the managing director’s retirement. Offers invited.
