Here's where we answer the most common questions about
Logistics & Transportation
How is a logistics or transportation business valued?
Most logistics and transportation businesses are valued on a multiple of Sellers Discretionary Earnings (SDE) or EBITDA, typically in the 2.5x to 4.0x range. Contract stability, fleet ownership versus leasing, driver retention, and customer concentration all affect where you land within that range.
Can I sell if the business depends heavily on me for client relationships?
Yes, but buyers will want to see documented contracts and a management team that can maintain those relationships post-close. We help you prepare the business so it is transferable and commands a stronger multiple.
Will my drivers and clients find out the business is for sale?
Not if we run the process correctly. BAA uses NDAs, blind teasers, and staged disclosure to keep the sale confidential until you are ready to bring key people into the conversation.
How long does it take to sell a logistics or transportation business?
Most deals close in 4 to 9 months. Documented contracts, clean financials, and a well-maintained fleet are the biggest factors in compressing that timeline.
Do I need to stay on after the sale?
Most buyers require a transition period of 30 to 90 days to ensure client and operational continuity. We negotiate these terms on your behalf to protect your time and your payout.
