Last-Mile Delivery Business Valuation – How to Value a Last-Mile Logistics Company Using EBITDA, Delivery Density, and Other Key Metrics with Certified Appraisers Across the U.S.
Last-mile delivery is the final and often most critical step in the logistics chain—transporting goods from distribution hubs to consumers’ doors. This sector includes parcel couriers, local delivery fleets, white-glove service providers, and tech-enabled dispatch platforms. As e-commerce and same-day delivery demand surge, last-mile delivery companies are gaining value for their speed, scale, and data-driven efficiency.
Despite high labor and fuel costs, these businesses are vital infrastructure for retailers, third-party logistics providers, and direct-to-consumer brands—making them increasingly attractive to investors and acquirers.
What Makes Last-Mile Delivery Valuation Unique?
Valuing last-mile delivery companies requires a balanced view of operational metrics and strategic positioning. Unlike traditional freight or courier services, these businesses thrive on route optimization, delivery density, and localized scalability. With relatively low barriers to entry, competitive edge often lies in technology, service quality, and contract stability.
Valuation differentiators include:
Route Density and Efficiency: Higher delivery density per route reduces cost and increases margins.
Customer Contracts and Volume Commitments: Long-term delivery partnerships provide revenue consistency and defensibility.
Technology Integration: Advanced routing, tracking, and driver management platforms enhance operational performance and valuation.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: Establishes core earnings power and serves as the foundation for valuation multiples.
Delivery Volume per Day: Tracks the company’s ability to scale operations efficiently.
Revenue per Route or per Driver: Indicates route profitability and productivity.
On-Time Delivery Rate: A key performance indicator tied to customer satisfaction and contract retention.
Operating Cost per Delivery: Measures cost efficiency and pricing strategy alignment.
Fleet Size and Utilization: Evaluates asset intensity and delivery capacity.
Churn Rate of B2B Clients: Retention of retail, grocery, or e-commerce clients affects recurring revenue valuation.
