Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.
Contracted and Repeat Revenue
Ask what percentage of revenue came from customers who were also present the prior year.
Passenger transport companies with facility and corporate contracts, warehouses with long-term storage agreements, and freight businesses with accounts that ship multiple times per year all share the same characteristic.
Contracts, recurring routes, and customers on a predictable cycle are what separate a stable logistics business from one that has to rebuild its revenue base every quarter.
Variable spot freight or on-demand work is worth understanding in context — how large is it relative to the contracted base?
Operations Teams That Run Independently
Ask specifically who does what today and who would handle those functions after the sale.
Dispatchers, service managers, or operations leads who handle scheduling and customer issues without the owner make these businesses far more transferable.
When the founder handles every route decision or facility customer relationship personally, that's worth working through carefully during diligence.
Fleet and Facility Condition
Ask for a complete list with condition, age, and maintenance history.
Documented maintenance records and realistic replacement schedules separate a fleet you can underwrite from one that becomes a capital surprise after closing.
Warehousing businesses need clear facility specs including utilization rates and lease terms — buyers who skip this step often find surprises after closing.
Certifications, Licenses, and Compliance
Ask what needs to happen after a change of ownership and how long each transfer or reissuance typically takes.
FAA certifications, healthcare transport licenses, and government contract clearances don't always transfer automatically — understanding the timeline is part of the deal.
Understanding the compliance timeline is part of sizing up when you can actually operate at full capacity after closing.
Customer Concentration and Carrier Relationships
Ask for a customer concentration breakdown and how long the top accounts have been active.
Carrier relationships and vendor partnerships took years to build and represent real competitive value that doesn't show up on a balance sheet.
Revenue spread across many shippers with no single account above 15 to 20 percent is much more stable than a business that leans on one or two large customers.

How do I contact the owner of a business I found on Rejigg?
Create a free Rejigg account; owners, and the brokers who run some sales, only hear from buyers through the platform. Open the listing to see the full profile: city, team size, financials, what is for sale, and the reason for selling. Sign Rejigg's standard Fee & Confidentiality Agreement for that business; it is the same form for every deal. Verify your phone, then send your pitch from the listing. Replies, meetings, and documents all run through Rejigg.
Can I email Rejigg to get introduced to an owner?
No. Rejigg does not forward emails to owners or brokers, so a note to support@ or hello@ with a listing link will not reach them. Create a free account, open the listing, sign the agreement for that business, verify your phone, and send your pitch; that reaches them in a few minutes.
How does buying a business on Rejigg work?
Create a free account, set your criteria, and browse off-market businesses sourced directly by our team. When you find a match, reach out to the owner through the platform, Rejigg handles NDAs, scheduling, and document sharing so you can focus on the deal.
How much does it cost to buy a business?
Prices vary widely; most small businesses on Rejigg sell for $500K to $10M. Beyond purchase price, budget for diligence costs (attorney and accountant fees, typically $10K-$50K) and working capital reserves. Getting started on Rejigg is free.
What financing options are available?
The most common path is an SBA 7(a) loan, covering up to 90% of the purchase price with 10-year terms. Seller financing is also common, where the seller carries a note for 10-30% of the price. Our SBA loan calculator helps you estimate monthly payments.
How is Rejigg different from a broker or marketplace?
Brokers represent the owner and typically charge the owner 5–10% of the sale price. Marketplaces list whatever gets posted. Rejigg vets every listing, sources many of them directly through our own owner outreach, connects you directly with owners when they sell directly, and gives you tools to manage the process from first contact through closing.
What is due diligence and what does it involve?
Due diligence is the verification process after you and the owner agree on terms (usually in a Letter of Intent). Budget 30-60 days and $10K-$30K for professional help. A Quality of Earnings report is increasingly common for SBA-financed deals.
Can I buy a business with no money down?
Rarely. Most acquisitions require 10-20% down, whether through SBA financing, seller financing, or cash. Some creative structures can reduce the cash needed upfront, but sellers generally want to see you have skin in the game.
