Business for Sale Overview:

This is a niche publishing company with three publications aimed at the dog and cat lovers of the Northwest. It is totally unique in its content and focus on the Northwest dog and cat owners. Its first publication was in Dec 2007 with 25,000 copies being published with the Seattle Dog magazine and over 500 subscribers. In Jan 2008, the company published a Free directory, and in March of 2009 the Cat magazine will have 25,000 copies published. Seattle Dog Magazine already has had Playboy's "Girls Next Door" as the cover of its third issue. The Seattle Dog magazine is a quarterly issue. The Seattle Cat magazine will cover cats in a regional and national manner and is published twice a year. The third publication - Diva Dog/Canine Divine, the "Vanity Fair" for dog owners, is set up and ready to be published by the new owner. It will cover dog fashion, news, health, travel, and celebrities. From its first year in business this publishing company has been profitable. This is a "one stop" shopping for the Dog and Cat lover. The owner has this set up for huge expansion with upscale photography books, calendars, book review lists, and a vision for expanding and creating publications with depth, high standards and beauty. The Seller's "angel investor" died and she is forced to sell the publishing company due to lack of financial resources to continue. This is a home based business with very little overhead and it can be easily relocated. The Seller will stay on to help the new owner with the transition and will continue to contribute if the new owner wants her participation. This is a turn key business.

Property Features and Assets:

This is a home based business.

Market Competition and Expansion:

There is very little competition for this type of niche market. Hollywood Dog and New York Dog are gone, Modern Dog and The Bark are still around but neither of those focuses on the Northwest dog or cat owner, and they are National publications. This is the only dog and cat publication for the people in the Northwest. The expansion possibilities are huge. The advertising in both the Dog and Cat magazines could easily be increased. The circulation could be increased by adding outlets like Petco, PetSmart, and other retail locations. Diva Dog/Canine Devine could be launched. The number of copies published could easily be increased. This is a goldmine just waiting to be found.
