About this business
A Plymouth copywriting and editorial business, writing for marine, tourism and professional services clients from a leased city-centre office since 2010. It is run by 3 people. Turnover has climbed every year, up 67% since 2021 to £320k, and EBITDA has reached £65k, a margin of about 20%. For a business of this size that is a good return. Because the work is done on screen, a buyer could move it, merge it into an agency or keep it where it is.
