About the opportunity

This long-established refrigerated transport business has been servicing quality Brisbane customers for more than thirty years, providing chiller and freezer freight through regular daily and weekly runs plus premium-priced urgent work its larger competitors simply can’t match. Run entirely by its experienced General Manager, the business requires minimal owner involvement — the current owners are largely hands-off — and with no depot or lease to carry, it is one of the cleanest transport acquisitions you will find.

 

Key features:
  • Trading over 30 years with customer relationships measured in decades
  • Revenue approx. $1.5 million; normalised earnings approx. $260,000
  • Fully under management — experienced GM handles all day-to-day operations
  • Stable, long-serving team (one driver ~25 years’ service), all expected to transfer
  • Anchor customer on daily scheduled work, supplemented by high-margin urgent ad hoc freight
  • National reach through a trusted subcontractor network — no interstate capital required
  • Approx. $400,000 of fleet and plant included: refrigerated semi combination, two refrigerated rigids, hot shot vehicle and spare capacity
  • No premises required — no lease, no make-good, just secure truck parking; admin runs from home
  • Untouched growth levers: no marketing or digital presence has ever been needed — work arrives by referral
  • Equally suited to an owner-operator wanting a self-managing business or a transport group seeking a profitable bolt-on

 

The owners are downsizing their wider business interests, presenting a genuine and rare opportunity to acquire a resilient, essential-service business in one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions.
