Business For Sale

Business Overview:

This company is a freight broker that was started ten years ago. A freight broker develops a relationship with various shippers that are in need of their services to line up transportation for their product to the customer. The shipper and freight broker agree on the load price and that price is paid from the shipper to the freight broker. Carriers/owner operators contract with the freight broker to haul loads and are paid a percentage of the flat rate with the broker keeping the difference as a commission. This business includes dispatching, billing, accounting and marketing that can be done with one owner operator working out of their home. However, in this case the Seller has elected to hire a part-time assistant that frees some time for other Seller personal activities. Attractive business for someone who may want the independence of working from home, likes visiting on the phone with both shippers and trucking firms lining up loads, doing the required paperwork, as well as marketing to shippers and carriers.

Property Features and Assets:

As revenues increase, consider adding additional brokers lining up loads. With technology, brokers working for a freight brokerage can be in locations away from the brokerage office.

Reason for Selling:

Owned by CPA wanting to pursue other interests.
