IntroductionIt is the mission of Tweraser Imports to provide complete import/export brokerage services including purchase contracts, shipping, warehousing, and delivery scheduling. The company will concentrate on special and cultural imports from Austria and the European Union to the unique Bavarian retailers in the United States.  Tweraser also plans to provide trade consultation services to newly started firms created in the EU and desiring a presence in the U.S.A.

The CompanyTweraser Imports will be a limited liability partnership registered in the state of Florida for tax purposes. Its founder is Mr. Wolfgang Tweraser, who has brought together a highly respected group of individuals who are well versed in foreign trade processes.

The company has a limited number of private investors and does not plan to go public. The company has its main offices in Hallandale Beach, Florida. The facilities include conference rooms and office spaces. The company expects to begin offering its services in January.

The ServicesTweraser offers complete import/export brokerage services plus inventory consulting services. As mentioned previously, this includes the following:

Supplier/buyer identification Purchasing, contracting and consulting Shipping Warehousing Delivery

It must be noted that Tweraser does not possess any warehousing facilities and intends to outsource this particular service. We expect to earn revenues by charging a commission based on the value of goods moved per order.

The MarketTweraser will be concentrating on servicing just two types of clients, the importers of retail goods from Europe, and the wholesalers of products from the European Union. For both market segments, we have secured exclusive contracts or endorsements putting us in a unique position to service these niche firms and their needs.

Profitability in these two markets is expected to be excellent, especially in the import section as Florida draws in over a million tourists each year. We expect profitability in the co-op end to be much slower in the first five years of operation, but it too will increase steadily.

Financial ConsiderationsStart-up assets required include expenses and cash needed to support operations until revenues reach an acceptable level. Most of the company's liabilities will come from outside private investors and management investment. However we have obtained a commitment from T.D. Bank, with the principal to be paid off in two years. A long-term loan is sought that will be paid off in ten years.

The company expects to reach profitability in year 2 and does not anticipate any serious cash flow problems. We expect that about 3,500 units per month will guarantee a break-even point.

The company will concentrate on special and cultural imports from Germany and Austria to the unique goods and products from Western Europe and the E.U. Tweraser also plans to offer Class A office space to companies looking to import or expand their operations to the United States and Florida.

It is our long-term goal to become the preferred import company for the unique products of the E.U. Our goal is to stimulate and facilitate the internationalization of small European exporters. We offer a comprehensive set of solutions within a program aimed at the sustainability of participating companies, especially in terms of market share and job creation. Tweraser Imports has a combined 35 years of experience working in the import/export business. Our philosophy is in creating a long-term relationship with clients so that the delivery of their products becomes a seamless experience that promotes loyalty.

1.2 Keys to Success

Tweraser Imports' keys to long-term and profitability are as follows:

Differentiate our services to our niche clients so that they realize that we are better able to serve their needs than a more generic competitor.

Keeping close contact with clients and establishing a well functioning long-term relationship with them to generate repeat business and create a top notch reputation.

Establish a comprehensive service experience for our clients. This includes consultation, product/client search, purchasing contracts, warehousing, shipping, delivery, and follow up service analysis.

1.3 Objectives

The three year goals for Tweraser Imports are the following:

Achieve break-even by year 2. Retain our long-term contracts with local importers from Austria and the E.U., through

excellent customer service. Become the premier importer of Austrian and European specialty products in Florida.

2.0 Company Summary

Tweraser Imports will be a limited liability partnership registered in the state of Delaware for tax purposes. Its founder is Mr. Wolfgang Tweraser, a former master distributor with Fisher-Mills. Mr. Tweraser has brought together a highly respected group of individuals who are well versed in the various aspects of foreign trade processes.

The company has a limited number of private investors and does not plan to go public. The company has its main offices in Hallandale Beach, Florida. The facilities we will build include conference rooms and Class A office spaces. The company expects to begin offering its services in January.

3.0 Services

Tweraser offers complete import/export brokerage services plus inventory consulting services. As mentioned previously, this includes the following:

Supplier/buyer identification Purchasing process contracting and consulting Shipping setup Warehousing arrangements Delivery

It must be noted that Tweraser does not possess any warehousing facilities and intends to outsource this particular service. This means that we will have virtually no variable costs associated with unit sales.

Tweraser will be importing such things as steins, figurines, Christmas gifts, germanic foodstuffs, cuckoo clocks, and nutcrackers from Germany, where Mr. Tweraser has had extensive experience. In addition Tweraser will be importing Scandinavian wool products such as sweaters and other gift items. 

Our revenue model is based on a commission rate charged to our clients scaled on the dollar value of goods moved per order, and the consulting and rental fees charged.

4.0 Market Analysis Summary

Tweraser will be concentrating on servicing just two types of clients, the importers of retail goods from Europe, and the wholesalers of products from the European Union. For both market segments, we have secured exclusive contracts or endorsements putting us in a unique position to service these niche firms and their needs.

Profitability in these two markets is expected to be excellent, especially in the import section as Florida draws in over a million tourists each year. We expect profitability in the co-op end to be much slower in the first five years of operation, but it too will increase steadily.

4.1 Market Segmentation

Tweraser intends to be a small import/export company focused on clients serving a niche market. Having secured a very advantageous contract with several European exporters and gained the endorsement of the Pompano Beach city council, we plan to focus exclusively on these market segments. Both have such high potential that we do not see a need to expand our market reach for the foreseeable future.

5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary

Our firm's business strategy is to enter into a focused or niche market where it can offer a higher standard of service to its specialized clients. This will allow us to charge slightly higher fees to our clients for these differentiated services.

5.1 Sales Strategy

Tweraser intends to develop sales by establishing close contact with potential clients. We will begin by offering a free consultation in terms of overall cost, service, and delivery. In addition, we intend to promote our management team's extensive experience both with German gift manufacturers and artisans, and our knowledge of the produce trade environment to draw in our target market segments.

5.1.1 Sales Forecast

Sales are based on the various contracts we anticipate acquiring in the two market segments. Revenues consist of a commission rate charged to our clients based on the dollar amount of goods moved and include projected average costs plus an undisclosed profit margin. Sales are expected to vary somewhat month to month, but are only slightly cyclical on the import end. The exports are expected to be highly cyclical. The company does not have any significant direct costs of sales.

5.2 Marketing Strategy

Tweraser intends to leverage its contacts with the Pompano city council and the Puget Consumers Co-op in order to draw in new clients. The city council works very closely with local businesses in facilitating all aspects of business management in order to keep tourism flowing. Because of this, Tweraser has already signed contracts with nine Leavenworth businesses and we expect to gain a dominant market share within the town.

The PCC will be recommending Tweraser Imports, Inc. to its new farmers as long as we can keep shipping costs within accepted limits. Therefore we expect to have a large proportion of member farmers use our services.

6.0 Management Summary

Company officers include our President, Mr. Wolfgang Tweraser, our head of exports Ms. Hannah Mills, and our head of imports, Mr. Steve Iltheus.

7.0 Financial Plan

Our financial plan anticipates one year of negative profits as we gain sales volume. We have enough investment to cover these losses, and have an additional credit line available if sales do not match predictions.

7.1 Important Assumptions

We are assuming approximately 50% sales on credit and average interest rates of 10%. These are considered to be conservative in case our predictions are erroneous.

Since Tweraser is an import/export broker, the firm has no variable costs associated with it.

7.2 Break-even Analysis

Our break-even analysis is based on the assumptions that our gross margin is 100%. In other words, we will have insignificant direct cost of sales. Since each market segment is so completely different, it is difficult to assign an average per unit revenue figure. However, it is believed that during the first three years, average revenue per unit per month will be about $4.00, due to the fact that, initially, we may be working with smaller companies projects. We expect that about 3,500 units per month will guarantee break even.
