Listing Type (?): Solid!

📸 Snapshot:

This is a newsletter-first media business serving a wealthy metro area (pop. 150K) with 22,000 subscribers—94% of whom are local. It’s the first newsletter we’ve seen listed as SBA eligible (note: "pre-qualified" isn’t real; it just meets SBA financing criteria). Revenue is ad-driven, with long-term contracts in place and $331K in pre-sold advertising for 2025–26. Open rates average 64%, and the business has a real team in place, including a dedicated local salesperson.
