Competition
The market for Point-to-Point delivery services is highly competitive and has low barriers to entry. Many of the company's competitors operate in only one location and may have more experience and brand recognition than the company in such local market. In addition, several large, national, publicly traded companies have begun to consolidate the Point-to Point delivery industry through the acquisition of independent courier companies. Other companies in the industry compete with the company not only for the provision of services but also for acquisition candidates. Some of these companies have longer operating histories and greater financial resources than the company.

Business Plan
The company intends to drive internal growth by: (I) expanding market share; (I) enhancing services; (iii) developing a premium national brand name; (iv) forming strategic alliances; and (v) improving profitability.

Use of Proceeds
The proceeds from the proposed offering will be used to pay the cash portion of the purchase price for the Founding Companies and for general corporate purposes, including future acquisitions.
