Four steps,3 to 5 business days.

The four steps above are the headline. The reality is a bit more granular — here’s what actually happens between “I submitted the form” and “the wire just hit.”

Day 1 — Check and triage

You enter your MC or DOT number. Within hours, every day of the week, we pull your FMCSA record, verify the MC authority is in good standing, and check insurance status. If the LLC has an active Amazon Relay contract, we verify it through standard channels. We come back with either “we want to move” (with a specific number) or “here’s why we’re passing.”

Day 2 — Written offer and LOI

If we’re moving, you get a written offer and a short letter of intent that locks the price and outlines what transfers at closing: the LLC itself, MC authority, DOT records, company phone number, company email account, company bank account, and any vehicle titles if applicable. No verbal commitments — everything is on paper.

Day 2–3 — Diligence and document prep

Standard diligence: tax filings current, no undisclosed liens, violation history matches what you told us. Our legal counsel drafts the purchase agreement; we pay those fees. You review with your own counsel if you want, and we go back and forth on edits.

Day 3–5 — Signing, wire, and the in-person handover

The close happens in person.We meet you at the bank that holds the LLC’s account — typically the same bank that’s attached to the Amazon Relay payments — and we run the transfer at the counter together. Final purchase agreement signed face to face, the bank updates signatories on the spot, and we wire the closing payment from our account to yours while we’re both standing there. You walk out with the funds in your account, we walk out with the LLC. Phone number, email, and FMCSA portal credentials hand over according to the closing checklist; MC authority re-registration paperwork is filed by us in the days after.

The reason we close at the bank, in person: it removes every ambiguity that normally drags a small-business sale out for weeks. No remote signature chasing, no “the wire didn’t arrive yet,” no waiting on scanned IDs. The teller sees you, sees us, and the transfer is final before any of us leaves the branch.

A note on timing. Bottlenecks are usually outside our control: the bank takes a day to update signatories, FMCSA portal access has to transfer, an active loan needs lender consent. We’ve seen all of these and we know how to handle them. Our job is to keep the wire on track no matter what shows up in diligence.
