First Steps in Selling a Transportation Business

Last updated on September 6, 2013 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

While some owners may experience a great deal of anxiety and fear while selling their transportation business, others may find it’s a rewarding opportunity. The before, actual process, and aftermath of the sale should be a time of peace, rather than worry and stress. In order to reach this peace while selling a transportation business, owners must be realistic in their asking price, realistic in the time it will take, and can also look to a third party for assistance.

Selling a transportation business for above or at asking price would be ideal. However, a seller must be realistic in understanding that to obtain peace during the sale, they may have to lower the asking price.

In order to obtain financial peace before the sale, owners must do a few things. By seeking a valuation from a third party professional that has invaluable experience in the transportation industry, owners are able to reach a basic understanding and decision about selling their transportation company. The seller must also understand that the time it will take to sell your transportation business will depend on a few factors. These include the industry’s forecast, sale implications, and even the past trends of value.

Many transportation business owners avoid getting a third party professional valuation, which leads to added stress and anxiety over the asking price and the length of the sale. By doing these things, owners can ensure a quicker sale of their business for a fair asking price. By seeking assistance and guidance from a third party professional, the owner will be more realistic as to what offers his company will attract.

Transportation business owners can also look at many different factors that can affect their sale. They can look into the future after the transaction and experience peace.

Now that the time has come to actually sell the transportation business, a seller wants to be sure the transaction goes smoothly for their own sake. The seller should be well aware of how exactly the transaction will work and can watch it play itself out realistically. If a seller expects to achieve financial peace while selling the business, he/she must be well prepared to know the answers to several key questions.

The questions include: How much time with the sale transaction take? Who exactly is purchasing transportation companies? How can I be sure that the potential buyer is qualified to purchase my company? How can I be sure that all of my information and transactions are kept confidential during the sales process? What is the structure of the deal? Will there be tax implications and what should I expect? What will we have to do to get the deal financed and how much time will this take? While I am in the works of selling my transportation company, should I make any changes to it?

Because there are several steps in the process of selling a transportation business, working with an experienced third party intermediary can help prepare you. They will offer invaluable advice and understanding into what exactly is anticipated during a transaction. By working with the intermediary, the business owner can prevent any unnecessary stress that may occur in the event of any complications or surprises.

Now that the business owner has sold their transportation company, it should be a time to look to the future. However, some sellers tend to feel regret, disappointment, or more stress after the sale. Perhaps they feel they could have gotten more for their business. Or, perhaps, it is difficult to think of all their hard work in building the business going into the new owner’s hands.

By looking to the future, while still appreciating all of the benefits owning the company had given them, a business owner can begin to appreciate the new benefits of selling the company. Selling a transportation business may allow the owner financial freedom from loans and debt, freedom, more time, and a new start in their future.

Although selling a transportation business can be a very stressful time for many, by having peace throughout the beginning, the process, and the aftermath of the sale, the owner can find the whole process very rewarding. It is important for the seller to not allow the sale to overtake their entire life. Rather they should have control of the sale. By hiring an experienced intermediary, the seller can ensure that the sale be done as worry-free as possible.
