This small independent creative agency was established in 2005 by a veteran marketing professional who wanted to focus on helping small businesses achieve cost-effective results using innovative solutions. Their services include producing advertisements, logos, business cards, catalogs/brochures, POS materials, incentive programs, and promotional gifts. In addition, they offer consulting on long range planning, creating company images and building public relations. This energetic owner has grown the business more than 64% from 2006 to 2007. This is an ideal business for a recent adverting graduate or someone burned out from the corporate advertising mill to step in and continue to grow from the established existing customer base. This is an fun and exciting career opportunity in advertising and marketing with a plus of being your own boss.

Facilities: The business is located in a 350 sq. ft. leased office space in central Oakland County. The $400 gross lease expires July 31, 2008. The landlord would be happy to extend the lease. However the business could easily be relocated. The assets include office furniture, file cabinets, small kitchen appliances, business related electronic equipment including expensive software such as; Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Acrobat, etc.

Competition: Most agencies focus on larger clients. Few if any firms are dedicated to helping small businesses, yet they make up a very largest business sector. Since the economy is forcing consumers to be more frugal, store owners must spend more money on advertising. This firm has a reputation for getting results.

Growth/Expansion: The seller's established networking and advertising plans are working. The many new large accounts established last year are contributing to the large jump in sales. The new buyer should work with the seller to develop and expand upon their business plan.

Financing: Buyer must obtain their own financing.

Support/Training: Seller will provide 100 hours of training immediately after the sale. Ongoing consultation services are available for 90 days where the owner will be available for direction and advice on running the business.

Reason Selling: Recent marriage allows seller to expand their energies on philanthropic work
