Local Media & Membership Business - Southern Utah

Business Overview:

This is a community-embedded local B2B media and membership advertising business serving one of the fastest-growing metro areas of Southern Utah. The Company connects local businesses with their community through content-driven storytelling and a recurring membership advertising platform, built on an established, trusted local business network.

Revenue is generated through a diversified, mostly recurring model: membership packages featuring local businesses across the platform (including directory listings and social media promotion), quarterly print publications, digital advertising, recurring live business events, an in-house content and blog program, a commission-based direct sales channel, an incentivized referral network, and a supplementary trade/barter channel. Billing runs through Square.

The business has reached a genuine growth inflection point. Revenue grew from roughly $34,000 in 2024 to $140,000 in 2025, close to a 4x increase, as the membership model took hold. Through the first half of 2026 the business generated approximately $124,000, putting it on pace for an annualized run-rate near $250,000, with a conservative-to-upside 2027 projection of $300,000 to $350,000. 2025 Seller's Discretionary Earnings were $48,000, with 2026 SDE projected at approximately $114,000 based on year-to-date trend -- a projection, not yet finalized as of year-end.

The operating team is 2 Full-Time employees (including a W2 Sales Manager, 40 hrs/week) and 1 Part-Time employee, plus 3 Independent Contractors supporting sales and administrative/creative functions, which keeps fixed overhead relatively low and means day-to-day operations and growth are not solely dependent on the owner. The local media and membership category in this market currently has limited direct competition, and rapid in-migration into the region is sustaining ongoing demand from local businesses seeking visibility and advertising

The current owner is ready to hand the business off to a new owner who can commit the additional time and capital to scale it further -- not selling due to any problem with the business -- and is offering a defined training and transition period to help a new owner take over community and client relationships smoothly. Growth opportunities include tiered membership pricing, dedicated sales headcount, geographic expansion into adjacent Southern Utah communities, annual contracts, and premium sponsorship packages.

Market Competition and Expansion:

The local membership-media category in this market is largely uncontested today, giving an incoming owner a defensible position rather than one crowded with direct competitors. Demand is reinforced structurally: the region is one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country, and continuous in-migration brings a steady stream of new and expanding local businesses looking for visibility and advertising. The market's community-first culture also favors a trusted local media brand over impersonal national advertising platforms, which supports pricing power and member retention. Expansion runway is significant: the same content-and-membership model that has driven the last year's growth can be extended into adjacent Southern Utah communities, and additional sales headcount or tiered membership pricing can lift revenue per member well beyond current levels.

Reason for Selling:

Built a profitable, self-sustaining business and ready to hand it off to a new owner who can commit the additional time and capital to scale it further -- not selling due to any problem with the business. Kindly ask the seller for more information.
