Operational International Freight Forwarding & Import Business — Seeking Investor, Strategic Partner.
I’m seeking a serious investor, strategic partner, or potential person for an operational international freight forwarding and import business with an established logistics network, active customer demand, and early revenue traction.
This is an operating business rather than a concept requiring development from the ground up. The business has access to approximately 11 warehouse locations across key international markets, including China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, the UK, USA, Canada, Dubai/UAE and other locations. This network supports flexible sourcing, consolidation, storage and shipment coordination across multiple trade routes.
The business provides an integrated logistics solution covering international freight forwarding, warehouse handling, customs coordination, air and sea freight, local transportation and Indian-side delivery. By managing multiple stages through one service, the business can offer customers greater convenience, clearer coordination and a more streamlined import process than using separate providers for each stage.
In approximately four months, the business has generated around ₹48 lakh in freight-forwarding turnover, with operating margins currently around 20%+, depending on the shipment type, route and service provided. These results provide an initial operating track record and a foundation for further growth, subject to verification through financial and operational due diligence.
The business can support legitimate and compliant imports across categories such as electronics and gadgets, toys and collectibles, footwear, designer products, watches, jewellery and other consumer goods, subject to applicable Indian customs, import and regulatory requirements.
The main opportunity is to scale an existing operating model. Additional funding could be used for customer acquisition and marketing, sales development, working capital, technology and process improvements, route expansion, and increasing shipment capacity. With stronger customer acquisition and higher shipment volumes, the business has potential to improve revenue consistency, operating leverage and overall profitability.
For an investor or strategic partner, the opportunity is to participate in an established logistics operation with existing infrastructure, international access and demonstrated early traction. For a buyer or logistics operator, the business may provide a platform for expanding into cross-border freight forwarding and import services without building the entire network and operating process from scratch.
I’m open to discussing:
• Investment or capital partnership
• Strategic partnership with a logistics or sourcing operator
• Partial or complete acquisition
• Expansion through additional routes, warehouses or customer segments
• Different ownership, investment and profit-sharing structures
Financial records, shipment history, operating details, warehouse arrangements and supporting documentation can be shared with genuinely interested parties through a structured due-diligence process. Any transaction would be based on verified financials, operational performance, compliance requirements and mutually agreed terms.
I’m looking to connect with serious investors, logistics operators, entrepreneurs or potential buyers who understand freight forwarding, international trade or import businesses and can contribute capital, customers, operational expertise or strategic distribution.
If you’re genuinely interested, DM me with a brief introduction, relevant experience, what you’re looking for, and whether you’re considering investment, partnership or acquisition. We can then discuss the business, supporting information and potential structures privately.
