Hi all -
Looking to submit an LOI for a Freight Forwarding/Shipping Logistics company however I'm unsure what a fair EBITDA/FCF multiple would be. Does anyone have any experience with deals in this industry they'd be willing to share? Much appreciated!

Sorry, I can't really help with US multiples. I use two tools for German multiples. One can be found for free here and it also covers logistics multiples: https://www.dub.de/unternehmenswert-berechnen/kmu-multiples/#c39868-1. Maybe this gives you a first hint, even though they may differ from the US multiples. I would assume that there are M&A newspapers in the US that publish these multiples per industry and company size.

Thanks for tagging me ^redacted‌! We've been doing a lot of work to get good EBITDA multiples for different industries. Check out this piece and then send me a DM if you think we're on the right track with this: https://privatemarketlabs.com/getting-better-data-insights-through-industry-comparables/
