Business Overview
Established for over 20 years, this FMC-licensed U.S. freight forwarder operates a highly automated digital logistics platform. The business captures a nationwide U.S. audience moving cargo internationally, while 25% to 35% of the customer base consists of overseas clients seamlessly scheduling remote U.S. exports.
- Reason for Sale: The founder is preparing for retirement and a planned exit in September 2026.
- Verified Brand Trust: The company maintains an excellent, verifiable reputation with highly positive customer feedback across major third-party review platforms, including Google and Birdeye, alongside a strong standing with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). This proven track record drives high conversion rates and establishes immediate trust with new users.
- Operational Efficiency: Previously operated by a 4-member team capturing up to 2.5 to 3 shipments per day, the business was successfully condensed into a single-member LLC, maintaining a consistent baseline of 0.63 to 0.77 daily shipments to accommodate the founder's transition to retirement.

While currently processing high-volume LCL traffic, the system architecture is fully engineered to support FCL and is instantly adjustable for RoRo, break-bulk cargo, and airfreight, allowing a buyer to effortlessly scale into high-margin service types.
- Automated Routing Logic: The platform instantly maps inland U.S. origin points to global destination terminals, automatically factoring in ocean carriers' freight stations, volumetric weight constraints, and inland transportation costs.

Strategic Buyer FAQ
1. Why are you selling the business?
"I'm selling my business as I prepare for retirement in September 2026.
For the past decade, I have operated this freight platform part-time, focusing on building an automated, self-sustaining system rather than aggressive growth.
The platform generates nearly 90+ warm quotes daily from a mix of commercial SMBs and individual shippers worldwide. With a full-time customer service team, a new owner can easily convert these leads into 3+ booked shipments per day, boosting revenue from day one."
2. How did you determine the $125,000 asking price?
"The asking price of $125,000 is a conservative 2.5x multiple on the platform's current annual gross part-time support margin of approximately $50,000, which can be fully verified through the live control panel.
The true value lies in the untapped potential. The system generates about 70 warm quotes per day, yet 97% currently go unworked due to my part-time hours. By simply plugging your sales team into this existing daily pipeline, your ROI will scale instantly."
3. What are the current operational expenses?
"The platform is engineered for high automation and exceptionally low overhead. The core monthly and annual technical requirements are:
- Web Hosting (Plesk/IHP): ~$40/month.
- IT Maintenance: ~$800/month (Dedicated developer support for system updates).
- Administrative Fees: ~$450/year (OFF OTI Bond — note that a buyer would utilize their own licensing).
- Miscellaneous: ~$100/year (Domain SSL renewals and basic web services).
4. How much time is required to run the business?
"As a single-member LLC, I currently dedicate approximately 4 hours per day to the business. I operate flexibly from home, primarily responding to customers via email. Because the pricing and lead-generation engine is fully automated, the system continues to produce consistent results even with this part-time, limited-support approach."
5. What has caused the shipment volume to decrease from 2.5 per day to 0.7 per day?
"The platform’s capabilities remain unchanged; the shift reflects a personal lifestyle choice. For the first nine years, I operated with a support staff, and the system easily processed 2 to 3 shipments per day. Ten years ago, my wife and I decided to scale back to a lower-stress, home-based operation leading into retirement. The current volume represents the average capacity for one person working part-time, not the ceiling of the technology itself."
6. How will a buyer increase sales and profit?
"A buyer can unlock immediate, scalable growth through three clear avenues:
- Untapped SEO Potential: The global platform already commands over 1.2 million search impressions, despite an average Google ranking of 12.9 (the top of page 2). Pushing these established keywords to the first page will drive an exponential surge in organic traffic.
- Aggressive Lead Conversion: Operated part-time for the last decade, the business currently yields a ~3% conversion rate. A dedicated sales team can instantly monetize 97% of unworked leads by capturing high-value commercial shippers and small-to-midsize businesses (SMBs) already entering the funnel.
- Instant Service Expansion: The existing digital architecture is primed for vertical growth. A buyer can seamlessly expand the service offerings to capture higher-margin FCL, RORO, and Airfreight traffic, creating immediate new revenue streams.
In short, a buyer is stepping into a proven, globally positioned asset where deploying dedicated sales staffing and minor SEO optimizations will deliver a rapid and substantial return on investment."
7. What is your background in the OTI field?
"I have over 20 years of experience in international logistics. In the early 2000s, I was hired by an air-freight logistics company to build their ocean freight division from the ground up. I established that department and eventually leveraged that expertise to found AMID Logistics and develop this proprietary digital platform."
8. Will you support us during the setup and transition period?
"Yes, absolutely. Ensuring a smooth and successful handover is a priority. Following the completion of the acquisition, I will be fully available to assist your team during the setup and integration period. After dedicating 20 years to building this platform, it would be my genuine pleasure to see it thrive and scale under your ownership. Furthermore, I remain open to discussing ongoing consulting or advisory cooperation once my retirement begins."
9. Will we have technical support to maintain the custom software?
"The web platform is developed and maintained by a skilled IT specialist residing in Poland, who operates as an independent contractor. His deep understanding of the architecture enables him to offer a complete, turnkey IT solution.
The system is stable and requires about 2 to 4 working days each month for rate matrices updates and maintenance, unless a major system change is needed. This effort costs around $800 monthly. The contractor is fully available and willing to continue supporting the platform for the new owner, so you won't need to hire an expensive, full-time in-house developer to ensure the system runs smoothly.
Even if you decide to completely rebuild the code later, the existing foundation makes it easy to start from scratch. The process shouldn't take more than a few months of standard IT development, which protects you from massive rebuild costs."
