Why ACQUIXORY

Spain's logistics market has a problem no one had measured

More than 500 logistics company transfers take place in Spain every year without appearing in any sector report. They are real transactions, with real teams and real value, negotiated without information, without preparation and without specialist advice. ACQUIXORY exists to change that.

The time problem

Every year of unprepared process destroys value

An unprepared logistics transfer takes between 18 and 36 months. With proper preparation it can close in 9 to 14 months. For an owner with €400,000 of EBITDA, every additional year is value not captured in the final price.

The exposure problem

A leak can destroy between 20% and 40% of value before the first offer

When a sale process leaks, key employees look for alternatives, customers renegotiate contracts and competitors exploit the uncertainty. ACQUIXORY operates with structural confidentiality from the very first contact.

The buyer problem

The right buyer can pay between 30% and 50% more

A financial buyer values on an EBITDA multiple. A strategic buyer —the one who needs exactly that company to complete a route, a licence or a segment— follows a different pricing logic. ACQUIXORY maps buyers by signals of strategic expansion, not by available cash.

The knowledge problem

80% of logistics SME owners have never sold a company

They do not know the difference between agreed price and price received, nor how to read an LOI or manage a working capital adjustment. ACQUIXORY closes that knowledge gap at the most important moment of a business owner's professional life.

What ACQUIXORY has that no other market player does

ACQUIXORY has built the only financial observatory specialised in Spanish logistics SMEs. More than 11,000 companies indexed with five years of financial data, operating profile, subsector and maturity signals for a potential transfer. The proprietary Seller Readiness Index identifies where each company stands in its preparation and anticipates, over a three-to-five-year horizon, which companies will face a continuity process before their owner has made any decision. Average score of the analysed universe: 55.9 out of 100. A data point that exists in no public database and in no published sector report.

Once you go deeper with several law firms and M&A advisors recognised in the market as “experts”, you realise that yes, some have done logistics deals, but that does not mean they have specific knowledge of the sector. They don't know the product or the market. They don't understand that. That is where your differentiation and value added lie in a sector like ours.
