Freight forwarders and customs brokerages typically transact at 0.4x to 1.2x revenue or 4x to 5x EBITDA, with premium pricing tied to long-term customer contracts and key-person retention. Last-mile and e-commerce delivery operators are valued more on route density and recurring contract value than on asset base.
Operator-acquirers (regional logistics groups, e-commerce platforms internalising last-mile) make up the most active buyer category. SHARH structures these deals with specific attention to customer-contract assignment clauses, fleet ownership versus leasing economics, and DPW / bonded-zone licence transferability.
