Business description

Based in South Yorkshire, this established designer and retailer of officially licensed artwork, prints and collectibles, operating on a global scale through a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model supported by growing wholesale distribution.

The company has built a strong reputation within its niche market, working with major film studios and licensors while collaborating with a global network of independent artists to produce exclusive, limited-edition products. Its customer base is international, with a particularly strong presence in the United States and United Kingdom, supported by a loyal and engaged audience.

The business reports stable turnover across recent years, with revenue consistently in the range of £700 k to £790k between 2023 and 2026, alongside an adjusted EBITDA of £139,483 in 2023 and £148,536 in 2026.

With the introduction of a marketing strategy this lean operational structure could offer an opportunity with clear potential to scale up through increased marketing activity, expanded wholesale partnerships and further international growth.
