Haulage Business Sales

Interested in buying a haulage business or ready to sell your firm? We support prospective and existing owners throughout each stage of the transaction. Get in touch to start the process.

Haulage business sales services for owners and investors

The United Kingdom’s haulage sector contributes an impressive £13.5 billion to the economy annually, making it an extremely lucrative one to be a part of. Haulage is essential to supply chains nationwide, and the growing popularity of e-commerce is only going to make it more important.

Investing in this industry now could yield positive returns on investment (ROI), while existing owners can use its rising prominence to orchestrate a sales price that can fund a new, exciting venture or retirement.

Whatever side of the negotiation table you are on, we can help you navigate the process seamlessly. Please use our contact form or call 0113 340 9840 to tell our team about your requirements.

What haulage business types can be bought and sold?

Choosing the right haulage business will be integral to your success. Whether you buy freehold or leasehold is one of the most important aspects to consider.

Freehold haulage businesses

A freehold haulage business sale is one that includes its premises in the transaction. This can usually result in the firm being sold for a high fee.

Leasehold haulage companies

A leasehold business sale, on the other hand, does not include property. Instead, you will buy the operational side of the business and enter a lease agreement with the landlord. Prices for this business type may be cheaper, but you will pay rent every month.

“Whether you are entering the haulage sector or planning your exit, having the right guidance can make all the difference. We are here to ensure every step of the process is smooth, transparent and tailored to your goals.”

Matthew Brannon

Director

How are haulage companies valued?

A company is valued based on its trading potential as well as the worth of its assets and property. Having your haulage business valued can help you prepare for and navigate negotiations more easily.
