Available on request

Highly successful business operating for 19 years.

Producing a hugely popular and well-regarded A5 glossy local advertising and community magazine, promoting local business to 17,000 homes in and around the Rugby area. A dedicated team of 40+ distributors (not directly employed and working on a self-employed basis) deliver direct to people's homes monthly. Printed locally in Rugby with a superb printing company.

The magazine has grown steadily over the years in both page numbers and distribution and now generates a great turnover in excess of £120,000.

Operating from home premises, this simple-to-operate business is run part-time yet produces a great income.

Many advertisers in the magazine have been promoting themselves for many years, and the repeat business they generate is a testament to what a great part-time business opportunity this is.

Excellent potential for further growth and expansion. Relationship skills and computer literacy are important, and full software training could be given if required.

This business has worked brilliantly around my having three children. Allowing me to be there for them before and after school. Superbly flexible business.

It's now time for the magazine to have some fresh input, ideas, and enthusiasm to make it even more successful than it already is.

I want the business to go to someone who cares about the publication, about its content, and also about the customers. They are wonderful, and the business greatly helps them keep trading.
