Who owns BritainNow.uk?
BritainNow.uk is wholly owned by Calpe Press Ltd., a private company limited by shares registered in Gibraltar under company number 129044, with its registered office at Unit 5, The Watergardens, Waterport Road, Gibraltar GX11 1AA. No external editorial shareholders or outside investors hold any influence over the publication’s content or editorial direction.
Calpe Press Ltd. was established to operate independent digital news publications. The company’s share structure does not include any external investors or editorial stakeholders who could exert pressure on news coverage. This ownership model allows BritainNow.uk to operate with full editorial autonomy, free from commercial or political interference from ownership.

How is BritainNow.uk funded?
BritainNow.uk generates its revenue through display advertising, affiliate links, commercial partnerships, sponsored content, newsletter sponsorships and content licensing. All commercial and sponsored material is clearly labelled for readers, and affiliate links are disclosed in accordance with our advertising and affiliate disclosure policy. No single funding source dictates our editorial direction.
The publication’s revenue model is diversified across multiple streams to ensure financial sustainability without reliance on any one source. Display advertising appears across the site, and affiliate links are used where relevant — always disclosed to readers. Sponsored content and commercial partnerships are clearly marked, and our sponsored content policy governs the labelling and separation of such material. Newsletter sponsorships and content licensing provide additional revenue. Commercial relationships never determine editorial conclusions, and all editorial content remains independent of funding sources.
