Copywriting and editorial agency on a lease in central Belfast

About this business

Copywriting and editorial agency in Belfast city centre, set up in 2021 and working from leased offices with a team of 8. It writes and edits marketing copy, annual reports and internal communications for organisations across Northern Ireland. Turnover has grown every year to £810k and EBITDA is up 57% to £124k, a margin of about 15%. Much of the value sits in the team and the client relationships, so a buyer would want key staff to stay.
