Abstract
The aim of the paper is to gain knowledge about the financial structure of logistics service providers (LSPs). We want to answer the following research questions: Is there a "unique" balance sheet structure standard for LSPs? What is the importance of asset-, capital- and liquidity structure for the entire branch and each cluster? Which are the key macro financial factors of high profitability in LSP clusters?
