Due diligence
What to Look For
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.
