Due diligence

What to Look For

Practical guidance from hundreds of real acquisition conversations.

Contracted Revenue Share

  • Ask what percentage of revenue is under written contract and how long each major client relationship has been active.
  • Contracts with healthcare facilities, corporate accounts, or government agencies that have already renewed at least once are the most valuable revenue you'll find in this category.
  • Understand what the revenue looks like if any single contract doesn't renew, and whether any contracts have change-of-ownership provisions.
  • That number tells you more about the business's durability than total revenue or fleet size.

Dispatch Team Independence

  • Look for a team that has been together for a while and a dispatch system with documented processes.
  • A business where dispatchers handle all scheduling, driver assignments, and client communication without the owner is one you can actually step into.
  • Ask what a typical day looks like for the dispatch team and how they handle exceptions when something goes wrong.
  • Team tenure in dispatch is a strong signal that operations run reliably and that clients are used to working with people other than the owner.

Fleet Condition and Records

  • Ask for a full fleet list with year, mileage, condition, and what's owned versus leased.
  • Vehicles with detailed maintenance records, a clear replacement schedule, and current insurance are much easier to evaluate than a fleet with unknown history.
  • The age and condition of the fleet directly affects how much capital you'll need in the first few years.
  • A well-documented fleet with a clear replacement timeline is a sign the business has been managed with care.

Licenses and Compliance

  • Ask for all operating permits, commercial insurance policies, driver certifications, and any healthcare transport credentials.
  • A seller who has all of this organized in one place is signaling that the business runs with discipline.
  • Gaps in compliance can create problems that are hard to work around after closing.
  • Ask about driver background check protocols and how they're documented and maintained.

Client Concentration

  • Ask for revenue by client and understand what the business looks like if any single account doesn't renew.
  • Revenue spread across a dozen or more facilities and corporate accounts is much more resilient than one large contract driving half the business.
  • Ask whether the largest contracts have been renewed at least once already, which tells you the relationship has been tested.
  • Long-tenured multi-contract clients are meaningfully more valuable than new large accounts.

FAQ

Passenger Transportation Business Acquisition

What should I look for when buying a passenger transportation business?

Start with the revenue mix. Businesses with a strong base of contracted routes serving healthcare facilities, corporate accounts, or government agencies are fundamentally different from those relying on on-demand rides. Then look at the dispatch operation. A team that handles scheduling without the owner is what lets you step in and run the business from day one. Browse passenger transportation businesses for sale on Rejigg to see what's currently available.

How much does a passenger transportation business cost?

Most passenger transportation businesses sell for 2 to 7 times annual profit. Businesses with strong contracted revenue, a documented fleet, and an independent dispatch team tend to command the higher end of that range. Use the SBA loan calculator to model your down payment and monthly payments.

How do I evaluate a passenger transportation business before buying?

Ask for a revenue breakdown separating contracted routes from on-demand rides. Review each major contract for its term, renewal history, and any change-of-ownership provisions. Get a full fleet list with year, mileage, maintenance records, and insurance coverage. Walk through how dispatch operates on a typical day without the owner involved.

What due diligence questions should I ask about a passenger transportation business?

Ask what percentage of revenue comes from written contracts and how long each major client has been active. Find out whether any contracts require client consent to transfer to a new owner. Ask for the fleet list with maintenance history and whether a replacement schedule exists. Get documentation of all operating permits, commercial insurance policies, and driver certifications. Ask about driver tenure and turnover.

Where can I find passenger transportation businesses for sale?

Rejigg connects buyers directly with owners of transportation companies, including medical transport, corporate shuttle, and school transportation businesses. You can browse passenger transportation businesses for sale on Rejigg and connect with owners directly.

Do transportation contracts transfer when a business is sold?

Most facility and corporate contracts can transfer to a new owner, but it's important to review each agreement for language about ownership changes or consent requirements. Healthcare facility contracts in particular sometimes require a formal amendment or approval process. Identifying any consent requirements early gives you time to plan the transition without disrupting service.

How do I think about fleet replacement costs when evaluating a transportation acquisition?

The age and condition of the fleet directly affects how much capital you'll need in the first few years. Ask for a full fleet list with year, mileage, and maintenance history, and find out whether there's a planned replacement schedule. Vehicles with high mileage and no replacement plan are a capital need that should factor into your offer. A well-documented fleet with a clear replacement timeline is a sign the business has been managed with care.
