Business Description

An exciting opportunity to acquire a relatively new international shipping, freight forwarding, and ocean carrier service with a seasoned industry expert at the helm. The owner, a licensed maritime shipper with 25 years of experience, is seeking an investor or cash buyer to accelerate growth and take the business to the next level.

Business Highlights:
– C-Corporation structure, ready for scaling
– Owner holds the necessary Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) licensing (QR) required for operation
– Proven projections to build out a full team (18 employees, including leadership roles)
– Interest from international buyers already secured
– No current assets, but acquisition funding will integrate necessary infrastructure
– Minimal current revenue, but strong future potential with the right investment

Ideal Buyer:
– An investor looking for a high-growth industry with an experienced leader staying on board
– Someone who can leverage the owner’s licensing (QR) as required by the FMC
– A visionary ready to capitalize on pre-identified international demand

The owner is committed to staying on for at least one year (or longer), ensuring a seamless transition and long-term success. This is a ground-floor opportunity to build a major player in the global shipping and freight forwarding industry.
