Have you always wanted to run your own online business, a business you can run from literally anywhere, while servicing customers all over Australia?

That was our vision for Freight Quote Australia from the very start.

What’s on offer?

* Domain rights to www.justfreight.com.au, and the keys to our website

Our expanded and optimised website has seen a significant investment in SEO over the last couple of years, and today we rank Top #3 place for numerous keywords specifically relevant to our niche.

* Phone setup

This includes a physical VOIP phone with working voicemail-to-email, ready to plug in and use.

* Website files and logo/branding

What you see is what you get - we love the iconic Freight Quote Australia logo

* Contact details for over 10,000 email subscribers

Each one of our subscribers have interacted with our business through the submission of one or more freight quote requests and/or booking a job with us. Kick off an effective email-marketing campaign and build up a portfolio of loyal freight customers who know where to turn when they have their next consignment ready to go.

* Templates and operating procedures

Hit the ground running - adopt the straightforward processes which have worked for us, and then adapt them as you go to suit your own needs as you scale up and grow your new freight business to the next level.

* 30 day hand-over and support.

This will ensure a smooth transition as you take over the business. If you already understand the practical realities of moving freight by road in Australia, then you won't need 30 days, but if you're a new freight investor, then 30 days will allow you sufficient time to get your head around the processes which are necessary to understand in order to operate and grow a successful online freight business.

So, why are we selling?

For many years, Freight Quote Australia has operated on the fringes of the other service businesses in our business group. Our team has been busy - too busy to give Freight Quote Australia the focus it deserves. So in June 2024 a decision was taken that the freight arm of our company would be split away and sold. This presents a unique opportunity to a freight-savvy investor who wants to tap into the enormous road transport market.

As a 100% remotely operated business, Freight Quote Australia is potentially the perfect investment for:

* An existing freight/logistics business seeking to consolidate market share in the areas of bulky goods transport, crane and pallet truck services and dangerous goods etc.

* A new start-up/owner operator with plans to scale up the business to it’s almost unlimited potential, and train up their own team of freight service administrators.

* A business already delivering physical freight services across Australia, but who lacks an online presence.

Over the years we have tried and tested various avenues within the freight services delivery market, and we believe we have found a niche and a developed a resilient operating method which will stand the test of time.

We are so confident of this, that we will consider all offers of or above a 51% stake in Freight Quote Australia.

Yes you read that correctly: if you can convince us that you have what it takes to take our freight business to the next level, then we will be more than happy to retain some “skin in the game” under the terms of a contract negotiated between us and you, the successful buyer. But we stress, this is just an option to consider.

Expansion Potential:

It's difficult for us to quantify the scalability and potential of this business. With extremely low fixed operating costs, the new owners will have the option of growing the business slowly, or else more aggressively, leveraging a 10,000 + list (and still growing) of potential freight customers. There is of course opportunity to branch out into other areas of freight, however for reasons we will be happy to outline to the serious buyer, we will recommend focussing first on working within the current niche.

Competition / Market:

Within our niche, we have experienced that there is limited competition. Due to the unique nature and freight requirements of many bulky goods consignments, our main competitors are a handful of businesses which have similar rankings on Google.

Reasons for selling:

Freight Quote Australia has for many years been a smaller business within a much larger business group. Due to the exponential growth of several other business areas, and the re-allocation of core team members, a decision was made to split off and sell the freight business.
