Sell Your Logistics or Transportation Business with Confidence

Logistics and transportation businesses require specialized M&A expertise—from fleet valuations and customer contract analysis to operational efficiency assessments and regulatory compliance. We understand the asset-intensive nature, driver workforce challenges, and margin dynamics of the industry to maximize value and deliver a successful exit.

What Makes Logistics Businesses Unique to Sell

Selling a logistics or transportation business comes with complexities that require specialized knowledge and an operationally-focused advisory approach. Unlike service businesses, logistics companies involve fleet valuations, customer concentration analysis, driver retention metrics, and technology investments that significantly influence deal valuations.

Equipment Appraisals & Capital Assets

Manufacturing operations often rely on high-value machinery and long-term capital assets. Accurate equipment appraisals, maintenance records, and depreciation histories are critical in determining true enterprise value and ensuring buyers understand the potential for future production capacity.

EPA & Regulatory Compliance

Environmental and safety regulations can impact both deal structure and buyer confidence. Proper documentation, EPA compliance, waste-management processes, and facility certifications play a major role in reducing perceived risk during due diligence.

Workforce & Union Considerations

Manufacturing companies depend heavily on skilled labor. Workforce stability, training structures, union relationships, and labor agreements all influence valuation and must be clearly communicated to potential buyers during the sale process.

EPA & Regulatory Compliance

Environmental and safety regulations can impact both deal structure and buyer confidence. Proper documentation, EPA compliance, waste-management processes, and facility certifications play a major role in reducing perceived risk during due diligence.

Fleet & Infrastructure Assets

Logistics businesses often hold significant value in trucks, trailers, warehouse facilities, and material handling equipment. Accurate valuations must account for equipment age, maintenance records, capacity utilization, and replacement costs—factors that directly impact overall business worth.

Customer Contracts & Revenue Quality

Transportation companies derive substantial value from long-term customer relationships and contracted freight. Buyers evaluate customer concentration, contract terms, lane profitability, and the stickiness of shipper relationships in assessing revenue quality.
