Silicon Freight Brokers is a niche freight broker for the silicon chip industry. SFB will provide a brokerage service to link manufacturers of silicon computer chips and the users of the chips such as Intel, Texas Instruments and Motorola with freight companies. Freight brokers are basically the “middle man” between a shipper and trucking company, also referred to as “third party transportation providers.” SFB will work with companies to find a safe, economical way of transporting silicon chips.
SFB will have two types of customers:
Silicon Freight Brokers will be concentrating on the freight brokerage of silicon chips. This is a small, specialized, niche of the general freight brokerage industry. SFB is concentrating on this space for several reasons:
Silicon Freight Brokers will be focusing solely on the freight brokerage of silicon chips. There are two distinct customers in this niche market, manufacturers of the chips, and the buyers of the chips who are processor manufacturers.
Although, in general, silicon chip production has shifted overseas, there are a collection of chip manufacturers still located in the States. The difference between the two types is not very significant, SFB arranges for the carrier to pick up the chips either off the boat or from the manufacturing facility.
Whether SFB deals with the manufacturer or the seller is a function of the contractual terms that the buyer and seller agree to. Sometimes it is the manufacturer’s obligation to ship, other times it is the buyer’s obligation to arrange pick up of the chips.
The chip buyers are manufacturers that use the chips in their processors. The largest processor manufacturers, Intel, Texas Instruments and Motorola, are located in the U.S.

Silicon Freight Brokers is concentrating on the silicon chips niche as it is a very specialized, thriving market. By focusing in this market space, SFB will be able to offer superior service. Shipping of silicon chips requires special types of trucks that are humidity and temperature controlled. SFB will form intimate relationships with the unique carriers because this relationship will provide SFB with special insight, which will allow SFB to meet any need a customer might have. Shipping silicon chips has special requirements and SFB will be more familiar with these requirements because it will not be distracted by offering other services. Specialization also allows SFB to develop close relationships to the limited number of carriers that are equiped to transport chips. Lastly, the growth of processor manufacturing, which requires silicon chips, has far outpaced most other industries in this country. This growth rate makes this niche especially attractive.
In the freight broker market, there are general brokers that offer a wide range of services. There are a few companies that specialize, but no one is as niche focused as SFB. Because most all of the silicon chips are transported through the U.S. via trucks, there is considerable growth in the specialty freight brokerage business.
SFB will be marketing our business through several different outlets. The first is the Internet. A lot of the industry has moved to the Web as means for communication regarding freight quotes. SFB will be developing a website where a customer can go to find out an estimate for freight rates. The website would key for finding the requisite information like weight, pick up and destination, and SFB would work with our carriers to find them the most safe and economical solution. Because SFB is only working with silicon chips, the complexity of the number and type of trucks to be used (non-temperature controlled, etc.) is reduced.
SFB will also be running advertisements in silicon chip trade journals. The ads in the silicon chip journals will provide visibility for SFB to the manufacturers and buyers of the chips.
There are many different freight brokerage services. This market is broken up into generalists, handling all types of freight brokerage, and specialists, handling materials ranging from heavy equipment, oversized loads, perishable commodities, or hazardous materials.
The chip buyers and sellers make the shipping decision based on service (defined by many variables including customer service, speed, safety of the product) and price. Most business is repeat business, 70-80% according to industry statistics. Once a customer finds someone who they are happy with, they typically stay with them.
Silicon Freight Brokers will be going after the silicon chip market. This is a reasonable target, due to SFB’s industry knowledge. SFB will be bringing customers aboard through the use of a website, advertisements in industry journals, and networking from a combined 17 years of industry experience. SFB will turn these leads into customers through our specialized knowledge which translates to superior service offerings.
SFB’s sustainable competitive advantage is our thorough knowledge of the silicon chip industry and freight brokerage business. Steve has spent the last 10 years in the freight brokerage business and has significant insight for creating business in this industry. Steve’s wife, Wendy, has spent the last seven years consulting for Intel and Texas Instruments regarding the usage of silicon chips for processors. She intimately understands the logistics of the processor manufacturer’s needs of silicon chips and their supply chain for this product. Having inside knowledge about freight brokerage and the niche of supply chain logistics for the silicon chips is rare. Generally, a specialty freight brokerage will concentrate on a niche for whatever reason, but rarely because they have inside knowledge regarding the niche industry product, usually the specialized knowledge is just in the freight brokerage business.
This specialized knowledge, coupled with an unsatiated need to exceed customer’s expectations will give SFB the competitive advantage to succeed in this industry. SFB has made it their mission to provide the finest customer service possible. This makes good business sense, particularly in this industry where so much of the business is repeat business.
The sales strategy will be a two-prong approach, the first prong deals with establishing strategic relationships with the carriers to have a basic portfolio of carriers who excel at moving silicon chips. The second prong deals with closing deals with chip buyers and sellers to utilize our brokerage service.
SFB will be developing strategic relationships with carriers by first assembling a comprehensive report of all the carriers that are silicon chip carriers. SFB will then attempt to enter into mutually beneficial relationships with them. SFB will also have a large portfolio of possible customers that have been developed through marketing and networking activities. The carriers will have a desire to work with SFB if they see that SFB is indeed a company of integrity, as well as a good source of future business.
Once these relationships are established, SFB will be able to offer our future customers a wide range of options. SFB will continue with its marketing efforts to qualify these leads. SFB will also be using our network of friends in the industry to drum up additional business. Customers are looking for a headache-free solution, and this is what SFB will appear like to them. Additionally, SFB industry expertise (freight brokerage and silicon chips) is rare and refreshing and will certainly make the customer feel at ease.
As a service provider business we have labor costs and expenses, but no direct costs of sales. Labor costs are included in the Personnel table and expenses are listed in the Profit and Loss table.
During month two SFB will be interviewing and hiring for a receptionist/secretary.
During month three SFB will begin to get a few phone calls regarding inquiries for our service. From month three on, business activity will be steadily increasing. By month four SFB will be bringing on one additional person in the capacity of customer service/account representative.
By month five sales will be getting still stronger yet. This assumption is based on the fact that it takes a bit of time for the advertisements in the journals to start becoming effective. When they do they should be bringing in a decent amount of business. Another reason for the business starting to really ramp up by month five is that the networking, that SFB has been continuously working on, will finally begin taking hold and the new customers will be spreading the word about SFB.

Silicon Freight Brokers is a C Corporation with Steve Tookarefol owning 100% of the stock.
Steve, the founder and sole stockholder has a degree in mathematics from Notre Dame University. While in college, Steve worked in a travel agency, learning the nuances of a service-based organization that works on commission. After college, Steve joined Speedy Freight Lines beginning in the accounts department. Recognizing the talent that they had with Steve, Speedy began to move him through many different departments to familiarize him with the entire company. Steve rose to manager of broker accounts and held the position for two years. Steve spent a total of eight years at Speedy. During 2000, Speedy brought a new CEO on board and Steve felt that the company was now being guided in the wrong direction so he left to start his own company.
Steve will be assisted on a consulting basis by his wife, Wendy, who has spent the last seven years as a consultant for Intel and Texas Instruments (among others). Wendy’s areas of expertise include processor usage of silicon chips.
The combination of Steve’s knowledge of the shipping industry and Wendy’s knowledge of silicon chip usage has given SFB the power to succeed in this niche freight brokerage market.
The staff will consist of Steve working full time for SFB as the capacity of owner and licensed broker.
SFB will be hiring additional employees for a secretary/receptionist position and then a customer service/account representative. These positions will be paid an hourly wage and will generally be working full time. SFB will bring these two positions on at staggered times.
SFB will also be using Steve’s wife, Wendy, as an industry consultant who will be generally paid on a monthly invoice.
