Established Magazine Business for Sale on the Costa del Sol

This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a fully established magazine business for sale on the Costa del Sol. The publication has traded successfully for over 16 years and has now reached its 200th edition. As a result, it is recognised as one of the longest-running magazines in the region. Over time, it has built a loyal readership and a strong base of repeat advertisers.

The magazine covers the Costa del Sol as well as inland towns and villages. Therefore, it benefits from wide regional exposure and long-term relevance. Importantly, the publication continued to grow during economic downturns, including the recession and the Covid period. This performance clearly demonstrates the strength, resilience, and reputation of the business.

The current owner is selling solely due to increasing commitments to other ventures. Consequently, less time is now available to manage regular publishing deadlines.

Revenue Streams and Advertising Structure

The business generates income primarily through advertising. In addition, it operates with a clear and established pricing structure. Current rates are €33 per month for a quarter-page advert, €49 per month for a half-page advert, and €99 per month for a full-page advert. When required, the owner also offers tailor-made advertising packages. This flexibility, in turn, allows the business to meet the needs of a wide range of advertisers.

Further income is generated through two large advertising billboards. Specifically, these are located at Miraflores Golf Club and the Plaza Mayor commercial centre. Together, they generate approximately €4,000 per year. As a result, the business benefits from an additional and consistent revenue stream.

Moreover, the magazine maintains a strong digital presence. For example, it operates a Facebook group with over 38,000 followers. This online reach enhances advertiser visibility and strengthens reader engagement beyond the printed edition.

Ownership Transition and Buyer Suitability

To ensure continuity, the current owner will provide training and handover support for an agreed period. As a result, the new owner can take over with confidence. Furthermore, the business offers considerable scope for further development. It will particularly suit a buyer willing to invest time, energy, and fresh ideas.

In terms of suitability, this opportunity is ideal for a couple or family seeking a lifestyle change on the Costa del Sol. Equally, it suits buyers looking for a business outside the bar and catering sector. Notably, the owner has a strong personal connection to the magazine. For this reason, he wishes to pass it on to someone who shares the same passion and long-term commitment that has driven the business for 16 years.

The sale is strictly confidential. Accordingly, further details will only be shared once serious interest is confirmed and proof of funds is provided.
