Description: This truly unique business provides its clients, predominantly within the legal and social work professions, with an updating service within the specialist areas of Child Law, Family Law and Adoption. Not only does the business create and provide in-depth publications it also provides expert and in-depth commentary and analysis on an annual subsciption basis to ensure clients are kept fully abreast of recent developments in these areas. This is done within the main publications and also through the ten monthly newsletters that customers receive as part of that service. The business has been providing these services for some twenty years and in that time has built up a superb reputation for the quality and content of its work.

The guides detail and analyse both Public and Private law provisions within Child Law, including Court Rules and Regulations, Practice Directions, Guidance, Circulars and decisions in the courts. Current subscription figures for the principal Guide to Child Law and updating Newsletters are circa 500; in addition, combined sales of the other Guides average in excess of 150 each year. Customers include barristers, private practice and local authority solicitors. The business enjoys very impressive renewal rates of around 70% as well as new referrals.

In addition to the suite of guides the business produces, it complements this service by offering a programme of training courses on many of the topics within this particular field including recent cases and other developments.

All such courses run by this company are fully accredited by The Law Society and Bar Council for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). This ensures there is always a large demand for places on the courses as all practising legal professionals within England &Wales need to complete a minimum of 12 hours Continuing Professional Development (CPD) each year to continue practising.

The company arranges the venue, provides luncheon and refeshments and all course materials at very competitive prices. Due to the limited resources available within the business it can only accommodate 8 one day courses a year at present. Average course attendance is 40 people so the potential to develop this side of the business is truly massive with a captive and growing audience.

The business has an online presence where customers are able to book and pay for courses as well as the publications easily and in advance. This is all done via secure payment methods and ensures the business enjoys positive cashflow and no bad debt.

The business currently outsources the printing of its publications.
