An airport city with many service companies
Irving's businesses run on travel, freight and corporate offices. Freight forwarders, trucking firms, printers, hotel suppliers and office service companies cluster along State Highway 183 and 114.
Freight and logistics owners will find our page on valuing a freight brokerage and 3PL useful.
What buyers check
Buyers ask how much revenue depends on a few customers, especially large corporate clients, and whether contracts can pass to a new owner. Long relationships are a plus, and so are clear written terms.
Many Irving companies lease warehouse or office space. The landlord's consent and the length of the lease often decide the schedule.
Local steps to plan for
Irving is in Dallas County, so the Dallas appraisal district handles business personal property. See the guide to the sale year rules.
Trucks and trailers have their own steps: vehicle titling in a sale.
Questions an Irving buyer will ask
Buyers of freight, printing and service companies ask how much revenue depends on a single customer and how long the top accounts have stayed. They also ask who actually does the work, the owner or a team.
Diligence usually runs a couple of weeks. A buyer asks for returns, financial statements, the lease, an asset list with vehicle numbers and a staff roster. Having all of it in one folder shortens the process and shows you have nothing to hide.
Payroll records get checked too. Off the books pay is a major red flag.
