CoGoGo are pleased to present the unique opportunity to acquire British Boxing News, a well-established and highly regarded e-commerce business that has been operating since 2016.
Based in Kent, this business is currently run from the home of our client, who manages all aspects of the website and writes the content personally. This is a business-only sale (Asset Sale), meaning the buyer has the flexibility to relocate the operation anywhere they choose.
Key Business Highlights:
- Established in 2016: British Boxing News has grown into a trusted source for the latest news, interviews, and updates on the UK boxing scene, building a loyal following.
- No Staff Required: The business is managed solely by our client, making it an ideal acquisition for a hands-on entrepreneur or content creator.
- Fully Online E-Commerce Business: With a professionally designed website and established domain included in the sale, British Boxing News has a strong online presence and a proven track record of generating revenue.
- Relocatable: Since it’s an online business, it can be from any location, offering the buyer total flexibility in terms of where they wish to operate.
Sale Includes:
- Website and Domain: A high-quality, professional website that is fully optimised for both desktop and mobile, ensuring excellent user experience and traffic retention.
- Content Library: A comprehensive archive of original content written by the current owner, including articles, interviews, and new stories. The site benefits from established SEO rankings.
- Social Media Accounts: An established presence on social media platforms, giving the new owner access to a dedicated audience and multiple channels for marketing and promotions.
- Handover Period: To ensure a smooth transition, our client is offering a handover period to train the buyer in running the business, understanding the audience, and creating content. This guidance will be invaluable in maintaining the site’s existing success.
While British Boxing News is already profitable, it has untapped potential that can be realised by a new owner. Some growth opportunities include:
- Monetisation Expansion: Currently, the business generated income through limited advertising and sponsorship deals. Expanding these partnerships and adding Google AdSense or affiliate marketing links could increase revenue streams.
- Merchandise: Launching an online store to sell branding merchandise, boxing-related apparel, and equipment could add a significant source of income. Boxing fans are known for their loyalty to the sport and would likely welcome the chance to purchase exclusive gear.
- Subscription Model: Introducing a subscription or membership option for premium content, exclusive interviews, or insider access to events could create a recurring revenue stream.
- YouTube Channel / Podcast: Expanding into the video content, such as interviews, event previews, or a weekly podcast, would not only drive traffic to the site but also open the door to further monetisation opportunities through YouTube ads or sponsorships.
- Affiliate Partnerships: Partnering with boxing equipment retailers, ticket sellers, and fitness brands would create an additional revenue source through affiliate marketing programs.
- Event Coverage: Expanding the range of content to cover more live boxing events, reviews, and exclusive insider news will grow the audience and increase engagement. Collaborations with gyms, fighters, and promoters could also help boost visibility.
- Increase SEO and Digital Marketing Efforts: Investing in SEO, targeted PPC campaigns, or hiring a freelance marketing expert could significantly boost web traffic and increase conversion rates.
- Social Media Growth: Although there is already a dedicated social media following, investing time or hiring a social media manager could exponentially increase brand visibility and drive more organic traffic to the website.
This opportunity is perfect for someone passionate about boxing and sports journalism, or a savvy digital marketer looking for a profitable online business with minimal overhead. The new owner will benefit from a well-established website, brand recognition, and a loyal fanbase that has been cultivated over several years. With plenty of room for growth, this business offers significant potential for expansion and increased profitability.
