About this business
A long-running animation studio in central Newcastle upon Tyne, producing character animation and motion graphics for children's content, games studios and advertisers. It has traded since 2008 from leased rooms and has four staff. Turnover has grown each year from £266k to £400k, and adjusted EBITDA from £15k to £41k, so margins are improving, though still modest. The studio could move easily. A buyer gets the team, a back catalogue of work and a business on an upward path.
