What attracted you to the Transportation and Logistics industry? As big as the industry is, it never ceases to amaze me how tight knit of a community we have in our sector. It’s truly a service-based industry driven by hard working men and women who are dedicated to serving their employees and customers at the highest level. -Eric Heath, Bluejay Advisors
What should owners know about the process of selling their company? There are financial, legal, and even emotional considerations when you are being faced with possibly the largest transaction in your lifetime. It’s a very difficult process to journey through alone. It can be all-encompassing—and the hardest part is you still must run a company at the same time. It’s an almost impossible task for most people to do by themselves AND get the best outcome for you and your people. -Eric Heath, Bluejay Advisors
What's a misconception many have about the M&A process? That the banker’s role is that of the introduction to the buyer. That’s only a part of the overall process. At Bluejay Advisors, we incorporate our background as operators and former sellers ourselves to fully equip our clients to be successful at every stage of the engagement while understanding that our clients want a transaction that is a win for everyone both now and into the future. -Eric Heath, Bluejay Advisors
What type of deal do you enjoy most? I really enjoy working with owners who have not yet realized the full value of their years of hard work and dedication. I’ve had many clients who started their journey as a solo truck driver, created hundreds of jobs and didn’t take their first real vacation until after they finally sold their business. -Eric Heath, Bluejay Advisors
