Description
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established and highly profitable audiobook distribution business that serves a global clientele and benefits from recurring, commission-based income. The company acts as an intermediary between independent authors and major audiobook platforms, providing access to distribution channels otherwise unavailable to individuals.
The business generated $923,400 in gross revenue in 2024, with Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of approximately $98,300. Remarkably, these results are achieved with minimal owner involvement — approximately 8 hours per month — reflecting a highly efficient and automated operation with low overhead. The business has grown organically through author communities and web-based marketing, resulting in a loyal customer base spanning multiple countries.
With businesses in this niche trading at EBITDA multiples averaging 12.9x, this is a high-demand opportunity for individual operators, portfolio buyers, or strategic investors looking to expand into digital publishing and audio content.
The business is a division of an existing publishing business. The sale of this business is part of the seller’s strategy to prepare for retirement.
