FAQ
- When does a transport business need an operating licence?Road-based public and tourist transport generally requires the appropriate operating licence or accreditation. Verify the licence holder, service type, routes, vehicles, conditions and expiry dates with the relevant national or provincial regulatory entity.
- Will existing operating licences transfer with the business?Do not assume this. Compare the proposed share or asset purchase with the licence holder and vehicle records. Confirm the renewal, amendment or transfer process and make regulatory approval a completion condition where operations depend on it.
- What should I check for cross-border transport operations?Verify C-BRTA permits for every passenger or freight route, vehicle and operating category. Review renewal dates, border restrictions, fines and agent arrangements, and confirm that permits remain usable after changes to ownership, fleet or destinations.
- Which vehicle-compliance records should be reviewed?Check registration, roadworthiness, operator cards, professional driving permits and dangerous-goods requirements where applicable. Compare licence data with the physical fleet and investigate traffic fines, overload offences, accidents, impoundments and insurer conditions.
- How should the fleet be valued before completion?Inspect every vehicle and reconcile it to ownership, finance, mileage, telematics and maintenance records. Separate leased or subcontracted vehicles, estimate near-term tyres and repairs, and verify that replacement cycles support the seller’s profit forecast.
- How can I test whether transport contracts are profitable?Calculate margin by customer, route and vehicle using revenue, kilometres, fuel, tolls, drivers, maintenance and empty returns. Review assignment and termination clauses, service penalties, fuel adjustments and dependence on one dispatcher or customer.
