Business description
We offer this company for sale because of a desire to retire. The company produces business-to-business mailing packs targeting profitable sectors of UK industry and commerce, each mailing pack containing 25-30 participating companies' sales literature. Ten markets are covered with each mailing taking place twice per year. These are not card decks; they can carry almost any kind of promotional material to the target market. To ensure the best possible targeting we also run a dedicated research department which first creates then maintains highly accurate databases. We are only just starting to exploit these databases further by setting up a dedicated department to sell them.

Expansion potential
There are opportunities for more mailings and there is very obvious growth potential for the selling of databases. Our data is not only very accurate but offers "hard-to-find" contacts not readily available through the normal outlets. Most business-to-business data can be bought from a range of sellers, meaning that it is merely a cheap but popular commodity. Ours will be able to realise a higher profit margin because it offers access to decision-makers not generally or widely available.

Competition / Market
We are aware of only two companies offering similar mailing opportunities, both on a smaller scale.

Reasons for selling
One of the two directors wishes to retire. The other director could be open to discussion about staying in place to continue the growth of the business.
