Idea

The company specializes in the delivery and support of shipments from Turkey with a focus on the Cuban and US markets .Demand for the products is high, but the company faces limitations in working capital to purchase more goods. This hinders growth and does not allow to satisfy all customer needs. The main problem is the lack of working capital to purchase more goods . The company has stable logistics, transport, employees and partnerships, but does not have enough funds to purchase and process the required volume of products .
Solution: attracting investments in the amount of $450000.

Current Status

The project is at the stage of an established business with 25 years of history. The company already has stable operations, with revenue of $2,215,328 in 2024. This is not a startup, but a mature business with steady demand. The company operates in two areas: logistics and flour production. The exact number of clients has not been specified, but based on current figures, it can be assumed that the company has a large customer base and maintains stable business relationships.

Market

Our clients are companies and organizations operating in industries such as logistics and the food industry. We serve large retail chains, manufacturing enterprises, and small and medium-sized businesses that require stable product supplies, including flour. Our services are in demand in the USA and Cuba, where logistics and the food industry are actively developing.

Client Characteristics:
Age: 30–60 years — decision-makers with experience in business management and development.

Geography: Our clients are based in the USA and Cuba, as well as in countries with developing logistics and food industries.

Business Type: We target companies of all sizes — from large enterprises with established processes to small and medium-sized businesses in need of effective solutions for transportation and supply.

Hypothetical Market:
The market for logistics services and flour production in the USA and Cuba presents significant potential. We estimate the market to consist of several thousand potential clients, ranging from large players to small and medium-sized businesses in need of stable supplies and efficient logistics.

Global and Local Market:
Global logistics market: The global logistics services market was valued at $12.6 trillion in 2024, and it continues to grow due to the development of international trade, e-commerce, and global supply chains. The market is expected to grow by 4–5% annually.

Global flour market: The global flour market is valued in tens of billions of dollars. The expected growth rate is 3–4% annually, driven by the increasing demand for reliable food industry supplies.

Local Market:
USA: In the USA, the logistics and flour supply markets are growing due to increased trade and the need for efficient transportation and storage solutions. The market is expected to expand by 5–6% annually, especially with the growth of e-commerce.

Cuba: The logistics and food industry market in Cuba is also growing, particularly after improvements in the economic situation. Due to the increased demand for quality food and efficient transportation solutions, the market is expected to grow by 4–5% annually.

Future Market:
It is expected that over the next 5 years, the logistics and flour production markets in the USA and Cuba will continue to develop, particularly due to the growing demand for food products, increased trade flows, and the rapid growth of e-commerce. This creates additional opportunities for business growth and the expansion of our services in these countries.

Problem or Opportunity

Our clients are companies and organizations in need of efficient logistics and stable flour supplies. These clients include large retail chains, manufacturing enterprises, retailers, and other businesses that rely on timely and high-quality product deliveries.

The problems we address are as follows:

Need for stable logistics — Many companies face delays or high transportation costs. With 25 years of experience, our company solves this problem by offering efficient and reliable logistics services, helping businesses save both time and money.

Flour supply issues — Companies in the food industry and retail often experience shortages of high-quality flour or instability in supply. We provide stable and high-quality flour deliveries, solving this issue for our clients.

Clients are willing to pay for these solutions as they directly impact their operational efficiency and profitability. Over the past 25 years, our company has established itself as a reliable partner, evidenced by steady revenue (with 2024 revenue totaling $2,215,328) and long-term contracts with major clients.

For those who are not yet our clients, our service appears highly attractive as it allows them to enhance the reliability and quality of their logistics and food production processes, which can significantly improve their business performance and reduce costs.

Thus, our company is already solving the pressing problems of our clients, and the market is willing to pay for our solutions, making this investment opportunity highly appealing.

Solution (product or service)

Our company produces and supplies two main types of products:

Logistics services — We offer comprehensive solutions in transportation, warehousing, and distribution of goods. We ensure stable and timely deliveries for our clients, including large retail chains, manufacturing companies, and retailers. With 25 years of experience, we have achieved a high level of reliability and efficiency in logistics, which helps our clients reduce costs and accelerate their processes.

Flour — We also produce and supply high-quality flour for the food industry. Our company has the necessary facilities for grain processing and flour production, allowing us to maintain stable supply volumes and meet client demands for quality raw materials.

Client's main problem: The lack of working capital to purchase a larger volume of goods. Despite having stable logistics, transportation, experienced staff, and strong partnerships, our company lacks the funds to purchase and process the required volume of products. This limits the ability to expand product turnover.

Solution: Raising $900,000 in investments to purchase goods and expand product turnover. These funds will allow us to increase procurement volumes and processing capacity, which will, in turn, drive business growth and profitability.

Arguments:

Our company has 25 years of successful experience in logistics and flour production, confirmed by stable revenue (in 2024, it amounted to $2,215,328) and long-term contracts with major clients.

Attracting investments will solve the working capital issue, increase procurement volumes, and speed up product processing, directly impacting product turnover growth.

Investors will gain access to a mature business with stable income and significant expansion potential.

Competitors

Direct Competitors in Flour Production and Export (Turkey → Cuba)
Turkey remains one of the world’s leading wheat flour exporters, although exports dropped by 39.7% in Q1 2025 due to restrictions on wheat imports.
The major Turkish flour exporters include:

Ulusoy Flour Mills – exports around 200,000 tons annually

Besler Flour Mills – around 150,000 tons

Konya Food – approximately 120,000 tons annually
These companies focus on large-volume shipments and work primarily with bulk buyers.

Our company differentiates itself by:

Owning its own flour production facility in Turkey

Focusing on the Cuban market, where Turkish competition is lower

Offering flexible terms and tailored logistics solutions to clients

Direct Competitors in Export of Construction Materials (Turkey → USA)
The U.S. construction materials market was valued at $146.8 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow steadily at a CAGR of 3.7%.
Top exporters of construction materials to the U.S. include:

Germany – 18% of imports

Dominican Republic – 17%

South Korea – 15%
Our company competes by:

Offering competitive pricing through optimized logistics

Providing flexible order fulfillment options

Focusing on small and medium-sized businesses that require personalized service

Substitutes and Alternatives
In both sectors, clients may turn to:

Local manufacturers and suppliers

Other international exporters, especially from Europe and Asia

However, our advantages include:

Full control over the supply chain through in-house production

Ability to quickly adapt to client needs

Comprehensive logistics and customs support

Advantages or differentiators

Undisputed Advantages and Differentiators:

In-House Production: We produce flour in Turkey, allowing us to control quality at every stage and ensure supply stability. This control over the production process is a major advantage over competitors who rely on third-party suppliers. In-house production also allows us to be flexible and offer tailored solutions to meet customer needs.

Logistics Flexibility: We own our transportation fleet and logistics network, enabling us to optimize delivery times and reduce costs. This is a key differentiator, as many competitors in our segment are limited by external transport operators, which can affect speed and cost efficiency in servicing clients.

Comprehensive Services: Our company provides not only products but also a full range of logistics services — fr om customs clearance to delivery and warehousing. This gives our clients added benefits, as they can get everything they need "under one roof."

Specialization in Specific Markets: We focus on supplies to Cuba, wh ere competition in flour and construction material exports is lower. This allows us to establish long-term relationships with key partners and consistently grow our business in this local market.

Flexible Cooperation Terms: Unlike large international players, we offer more flexible cooperation terms, including the ability to personalize orders and optimize logistics to suit specific customer needs.

These key differentiators allow our company to remain competitive and build long-term relationships with clients despite the presence of major players in the market.

Finance

Our company is already actively operating in the USA and Cuba in the fields of logistics and commodity trading, including flour supply. We are not a startup — we have well-established logistics processes, our own vehicle fleet, a professional team, and stable long-term partnerships. Our main current objective is to attract working capital to expand our turnover.

Financial Highlights:
Revenue in 2024 amounted to $2,215,328.

The average markup on logistics and trading services is 10–20%, depending on the route and product category.

Products (such as flour) are sold wholesale at prices ranging from $380 to $450 per ton, depending on quality and delivery region.

Forecast with a $500,000 Investment:
An investment of $500,000 would allow us to increase procurement and turnover volumes by approximately 35–45% in the first year. With continued organic growth of 15–20% annually, we expect to reach:

In 3 years: $3.5–4 million in annual revenue;

In 5 years: $5.5–6.2 million in annual revenue.

This growth will be driven by scaling current operations, securing better procurement terms, expanding the product range, and developing new logistics routes in the USA and Latin American markets.

Business model

Our business model is based on a vertically integrated trade and logistics chain, where the company independently produces, exports, and delivers its products to the end customer.

We own a flour production facility in Turkey and regularly supply our own flour to Cuba. In addition, we export construction materials and industrial goods to the United States. The entire process — from raw material procurement and production to delivery and customs clearance — is managed internally by our team.

We operate under a B2B model, working with distributors, wholesalers, and manufacturing companies. Revenue is generated through:

the margin between production/procurement costs and final selling prices;

the provision of integrated logistics services;

cost optimization through the use of our own fleet, staff, and long-term partner networks.

Our current objective is to scale this already proven and functioning model: increase production volumes, expand turnover, and leverage existing distribution channels to significantly grow revenue without major increases in fixed costs.

Money will be spent on

For what are the investments needed:

An investment of $500,000 is required to meet the growing demand for the company's products, ensuring further business expansion and stable supplies to existing markets (USA and Cuba). The main expenditure categories are:

Flour Production — a significant portion of the investment will be allocated to increasing the volume of flour production from the company’s own facilities. This will allow the company to meet increased demand and boost turnover, as the flour is produced in-house.

Procurement and Transportation of Construction Materials — part of the funds will be used to purchase construction materials, which the company supplies to the USA, and to cover transportation costs. Increasing procurement and delivery volumes will help expand the client base and improve logistics.

Logistics and Transportation — funds will be directed towards improving logistics, including the transportation of goods to the USA and Cuba. This will ensure timely delivery of products and allow the company to handle the increased order volume.

Offer for investor

The share we are willing to offer to the investor will be determined individually depending on the terms of each specific agreement. At this moment, exact pricing and percentages have not been finalized and will be discussed during meetings or negotiations. The entrepreneur and business owner is open to various cooperation options and flexible terms: these could include quarterly or annual payments, long-term cooperation, or other alternatives. He is ready to discuss different conditions and approach each investor flexibly to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.

Risks

Business Risks:

Competition: In certain segments, such as flour exports from Turkey, competition among large players (e.g., Ulusoy Flour Mills, Besler Flour Mills) may lead to lower margins and potential pressure on prices. However, thanks to our own production and optimized logistics, we can offer flexible terms and personalized solutions for clients, which minimizes this risk.

Economic Crises: The global economy is cyclical, and economic crises may affect the demand for our products, especially construction materials in the U.S. and Cuba. However, the business is already operating stably, and geographic diversification (U.S. and Cuba markets) helps reduce dependence on any one region.

Changes in Legislation and Trade Barriers: Political changes or new trade restrictions could impact our export operations. For example, the introduction of new tariffs or quotas could increase the cost of shipments. However, our company holds all necessary documentation and licenses, which minimizes risks in this area. We also have experience working with customs authorities, which helps avoid delays.

Demand Shifts and Innovations: New products or technologies may emerge in the market that could reduce demand for our goods. For instance, alternative sources of flour or construction materials might become competitive. However, thanks to the high quality of our products, established logistics, and flexibility in production capacity, we can quickly adapt to changes and continue to meet customer needs.

External Factors (Climate and Natural Disasters): Fires, earthquakes, or other natural disasters could impact production or logistics. However, we have insurance and agreements with partners, which minimize potential financial losses in the event of force majeure.

Risks are minimal, as our company has all necessary documentation, insurance, and the ability to quickly adapt to changes in external factors. The business owner actively oversees all operations, including risk insurance, ensuring high product quality, and maintaining stable partnerships.
