Exciting opportunity to own a newspaper publishing company in SW Iowa that has in
county, in Iowa and out of state subscriptions plus online subscriptions. This publication
provides locally focused announcements (birth/wedding/obituary), regional (sports
coverage/advertising for businesses), County listing/public notices as well as editorial
releases. It is one of the best local/regional sources of information with a strong subscriber
base.
The business could be relocated to accommodate new ownership as the current facility is
leased. This asset sale would include FF&E and business essentials (customer list, website,
and phone line) to help new owners grow, consolidate or improve the operations.
The owners have built a largely remote work situation where the on-location time is limited
with the help of very reliable part-time employee. They are looking to reduce their overall
business investments. For the right buyer, terms of the sale could be negotiated, including
the receivables for future booked revenue from subscriptions. Additionally, under the right
conditions, exiting owners would be willing to stay involved for a negotiated period of time.
This critical media platform offers both a great service to the area as well as an exciting way
to reach potentially untapped customers in a low-competition market.
