Launched in 2018, this established successful global B2B subscription-based franchise and B2C advertising platform has built a scalable digital franchise-media network spanning 200 cities worldwide. The business is fully remote and operates a portfolio of city-focused websites that combine local community engagement, events, business directories, news, job boards, and digital advertising into a proven, successful global franchise model. Its primary strengths include a recurring-revenue franchise model, an established international digital infrastructure, reported profit margins of above 60%, and lean, location-independent operations and automated onboarding systems. The company owns 488 city and supporting domains globally, with approximately 200 currently operating as live websites. While not every territory is currently franchisee-operated, this provides significant untapped global expansion opportunities for future growth. Approximately 90% of revenue is generated through franchisees paying an initial territory fee together with ongoing monthly management fees. In return, franchisees receive exclusive rights to operate their city or regional platform, access to the established franchise system, proprietary technology, and ongoing operational support. Franchisees independently sell advertising to local businesses and retain 100% of the revenue they generate. The remaining 10% of company revenue is derived from centrally negotiated advertising campaigns, with revenue typically shared equally between the company and the franchisee responsible for the relevant territory. The business presents exceptional growth potential. In addition to expanding into 9,800 of unallocated cities worldwide, there is a significant opportunity to develop the largely untapped B2C online advertising market, creating multiple new revenue streams alongside the existing B2B franchise model. The current owners devote approximately 20–25 hours per week to supporting franchisees, responding to franchise and advertising enquiries, coordinating a small remote contractor team, and overseeing strategic business development. Programming, website development, research, content management, graphic design, and franchise training are delivered by an experienced remote contractor team, all of whom will remain available following a successful sale, ensuring a seamless transition for a new owner. Content across the network is maintained through a combination of automated content feeds, business and event submissions, franchisee contributions, and central support, providing a highly efficient and scalable content management process. Future growth opportunities include expanding the franchise footprint into cities and regions, increasing international market penetration, developing larger centralized advertising partnerships, and establishing a direct or hybrid advertising sales team to accelerate revenue growth. With hundreds of established digital assets, recurring franchise income, proven operating systems, documented training processes, and scalable proprietary technology, this business represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire an established international franchise and global digital advertising platform with substantial upside and long-term growth potential.

Founded in June 2019, this business combines two complementary digital media services: a human-based editing service and a subscription-based software tool. The software tool, which generates about 60% of revenue, is an AI-powered plugin that enables users to apply consistent styles across large batches of files with minimal effort. It currently has around 160 active subscribers and maintains an average churn rate of approximately 10%. The human-based editing service makes up the remaining revenue, providing quick turnaround for event-related digital media projects. Customer acquisition costs are low, driven by organic Instagram engagement, word-of-mouth referrals, and excellent TrustPilot reviews—averaging 4.8 stars with no ratings below three stars. The owner spends just 3–4 hours per week on the business, primarily assigning work to contractors for the service side, which is managed on an as-needed basis through an automated process. The software side requires even less attention, with involvement largely limited to monitoring performance and evaluating new marketing opportunities.
