A book publishing company based in Germany specializes in creating accessible, expert-driven literature on topics such as personal development, entrepreneurship, and finance. It operates with an entirely outsourced fulfillment model, eliminating the need for physical book handling. The company has achieved approximately $410,000 in revenue with a net SDE of about $202,000 over the past year. By leveraging over 70 contracted authors with worldwide intellectual property rights, the business ensures a diverse range of expertise and global reach.
The publishing house utilizes various sales channels, including major bookstores in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, Amazon (via Amazon Advantage, KDP, and occasionally FBA), and licensing deals with educational institutions. Additionally, many of the books are available in audiobook format through a partnership with a prominent audiobook distributor. Marketing efforts are supported by sales agents, and its comprehensive energy is directed toward digital platforms, maximizing accessibility and distribution.
Currently up for sale, the business is being offered as an asset deal, inclusive of intellectual property, inventory, and various business assets, such as customer databases and marketing materials. Aimed at potential buyers with a foothold or interest in the book publishing industry, the business can be managed remotely with no requirement to be based in Germany. The current owner is divesting to pursue new ventures in the mobility sector, recognizing the transformative impact of digital sales platforms on the publishing industry. With robust asset offerings and post-sale support, the business presents a distinctive opportunity for expansion in the German and global markets.
