Selling an LLC with an active Amazon Relay contract — what to expect

May 1, 2026·4 min read

An LLC that already holds an active Amazon Relay contract is, in plain terms, the most valuable configuration we buy. The contract is the asset. Everything else — the MC number, the trucks, the dispatcher relationships — is replaceable. The contract isn't.

Why Relay LLCs close faster

Three reasons.

First, the diligence is shorter. We don't need to age your MC authority or guess whether you'll be approved. The Amazon dashboard tells us what we need to know in five minutes.

Second, insurance flexibility. We buy Relay LLCs whether the underlying insurance policy is active or has lapsed. As long as the LLC itself is in good standing, we can re-bind coverage as part of closing.

Third, the price is more predictable. Relay LLCs trade in a tighter band, which means fewer rounds of back-and-forth on valuation.

What we still verify

That the Amazon contract is current and not in a probation/cure period
That the MC number is in good standing on FMCSA
That violation history is clean — or that any violations are already resolved
That the LLC's federal/state filings are up to date

What transfers at closing

Same as any other deal: the LLC itself, the company phone number, the company email, the company bank account, and the MC/DOT records. The Amazon Relay contract transfers along with the LLC, since it lives on the LLC.

Loans

Active loans on the trucks or the company are not a deal-breaker. Disclose them up front and we'll work the payoff into the structure. We've closed deals with five-figure outstanding balances and we've closed deals with zero — both work.

Timeline

For Relay LLCs, our average close is 7–10 days from the time we receive your details. The bottleneck is usually the bank, not us.
