Business Model
The business generates revenue through annual listing and advertising packages purchased by accommodation providers and local businesses.
Rather than charging accommodation providers commission on bookings, the platform enables guests to make enquiries directly with property owners. This provides advertisers with a simple and cost-effective route to market while encouraging long-term customer relationships.
Growth Opportunities
There is considerable opportunity for a new owner to further develop the business through increased SEO and Google visibility, paid digital advertising, expanded social media marketing, premium advertising packages and expansion into additional tourism destinations.
There is also potential to further develop the existing subscription model or introduce additional membership and commission-based revenue streams.
Financial Information
The business operates with very low fixed overheads and is showing strong growth during 2026. Year-to-date sales are significantly ahead of the comparable period, with management forecasting full-year sales of approximately £6,000–£6,500.
Reason for Sale
The business is being offered for sale due to the owner's retirement.
The owner is committed to providing comprehensive training and handover support to ensure a smooth transition for the purchaser.
