Shortlist of Buyers

Freight Connect is specialised in the mergers and acquisition of companies in the transport and freight industry, we therefore have a network of contacts who are specifically looking at acquiring or investing in a logistics business.

Freight Connect will be developing a shortlist of credible potential buyers (trades or/and investors) who have reviewed your marketing materials and wish to move onto the meeting stage.

Offer Stage and Heads of Terms

Negotiating and presenting to you the offers from different interested parties, discussing their proposals (value and terms). The agreed terms are documented in a Letter of Intent (LOI) or Heads of Terms, outlining key aspects like price, payment terms, due diligence, and conditions before closing. While generally non-binding, it provides a framework for the final contract and may include binding clauses on exclusivity and confidentiality.

Due Diligence

During this stage, your potential buyer will review your company's financial, legal, operational, and commercial aspects to assess risks, validate information, and ensure informed decision-making before finalising the deal.
Freight Connect will assist in streamlining the process.

Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA)

Outlining key details such as the purchase price, payment structure, representations and warranties, indemnities, and any conditions precedent to closing, the Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) is a legally binding contract that finalises the terms and conditions of the transaction.

The SPA ensures that both the buyer and seller are legally committed to the transaction, providing protections and obligations for both parties.

Completion

On completion day, final contracts are signed, payments are made, ownership transfers, and necessary filings or regulatory approvals are completed, officially closing the transaction.

As part of the agreement, a transition strategy will have been put in place to ensure a smooth handover of the business from the seller to the buyer.

"Communication and feedback along every step of the process was second to none, with Richard just as committed to selling the business to the right buyer, for the right price as I was. This was extremely refreshing, to work with a company that wanted what I wanted."

Danny Monk, former Owner and Managing Director of DTM Logistics
