Niche Publisher Of Community Maps In North Carolina For Sale

Business description

Fascinating niche publishing business, home based, established for nearly 20 years with existing business with local companies and government agencies. Sale is triggered by personal family tragedy.

The current owner has developed this business all across North Carolina from the mountains to the coast. The company is a small publishing business serving banks, real estate agents, Chambers of Commerce and other organizations that provide folding maps to their clients. Often these organizations provide advertising space on the folding maps. In addition, the company provides large, high quality, laminated wall maps showing detailed plans of cities in North Carolina and beyond. The seller has a 60 inch plotter, a 60 inch laminator and a large laminating table to produce these impressive wall maps in-house. The owner has over 100 plans with copyrights.

What is interesting about this business is the potential for an owner with sales/marketing background to expand the business to previous levels. Due to an unfortunate family situation, the current owner has not done marketing for the past 3 years, so the current revenue and earnings are stable but at a lower level than previous years.

The company is located in the Charlotte metro area but can be relocated. It is temporarily located in a rented facility but can be operated from any place with 1,000 SF of work space.

The owner will include training in map making as part of the overall transition to the new owner and is open to working with the new owner in the future.

This would suit a retiree looking to supplement their income or an existing publisher wishing to expand their product line. Please see all our listings at ---.---------.--------------.--- .
