Fact vs. Fiction in Transportation Business Sales

Last updated on August 2, 2013 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

If you’re an entrepreneur setting out to buy your first transportation business, you’ll need some help finding a good deal and moving through the business-buying process. If you already have the guts to break in to the exciting world of business ownership, the Tenney Group can help.

Securing Financing Will Be Easy: Fiction

Well, in today’s economy, nothing financial really comes easily, does it? At the same time, securing the financing needed for your first business acquisition is certainly not impossible. Since first-time buyers seldom start with the capital needed for investing, sellers realize that they’ll often have to provide partial funding. Many are willing to do so, as long as you possess the following:

  • A good credit score
  • A strategic plan for the business
  • Transportation industry expertise

Those same key factors can help you get approved by a traditional loan backed by the Small Business Administration. Appealing to lenders such as specialty groups and community banks can increase your chances of securing a loan.

Business Ownership Comes with Many Perks: Fact

While some people think that owning a transportation business means someone is enjoying wealth, many do not realize the many benefits of owning your own business. (Hint: They’re not all financial.) While making the leap from a steady income certainly comes with risk, it can also feel like the road to freedom.

From setting your own wages to determining your own hours, the flexibility can be ideal for those with families, intense hobbies, or a desire to see the world. Of course, boosting your transportation business’s profits will be part of your goal, but in the mean time, you’ll be able to benefit from the many non-financial benefits of business ownership. After all, money isn’t everything.

Now Is a Bad Time To Buy Businesses: Fiction

As our nation recovers from a recession may actually be the perfect time for you to buy. Many successful businesses began during a struggling economy. Unlike luxury industries, the transportation industry still thrives amid hard times. You may find a great bargain if you’re looking to buy an ambulance or trucking business during a financial slump.

Negotiations Can Be Difficult: Fact

If you’re more nervous about the bargaining table than the risks inherent in business ownership, you’re actually in a very good place. Closing a business deal can be emotionally draining as well as frustrating, especially when you’re dealing with a long-time business owner. That’s where the Tenney Group comes in. As transportation business brokers, we help to stabilize negotiations and assist with closing.

To find out whether your other pre-conceived notions are factual or fictional, contact the Tenney Group today. Our consultation services reflect our long-time transportation industry expertise. As business brokers, our main goal is to connect the right buyers with the right sellers and help them navigate their business transactions with success.
