The volunteer recruitment venture focuses on placing individuals in volunteer programs in Ghana, West Africa. A booking fee of £149 is charged to each volunteer, and a £200 marketing-specific payment is received from the partnered organization for each fully paid volunteer. Additionally, a £25 admin fee applies when volunteers book excursion packages. This business is seasonal, with peak periods in October-November and January-March, coinciding with volunteer trips scheduled from April to November. Despite its seasonality, the business has demonstrated consistent traffic and profit over five years, amassing approximately £84k in profit since 2012. The company enjoys a strong reputation, with positive word-of-mouth and social media presence propelling many bookings without heavy advertising costs—the latter often covered by the partnering organization.
The operation requires 1-15 hours of work weekly based on the season and boasts a mailing list of over 6,000 interested individuals. Plans for sale stem from the owner's desire to focus on other ventures. Offered for sale are business assets, including a website and social media accounts. The business operates on WordPress with minimal maintenance required and offers elaborate support to the buyer. Growth opportunities lie in enhancing SEO strategies, leveraging untapped European markets, and considering expansion beyond Ghana. A 14-day auction aims to enable a smooth ownership transition before the peak booking period, presenting a firm opportunity with proven profitability and global operating potential.
