STP Bookkeeping LLC | Application Preview
STP Bookkeeping LLC is seeking government grants to enhance its cybersecurity measures and acquire essential equipment, including a new computer, printer/scanner, and firewall. The owner is currently furthering their education and plans to expand into the truck dispatch service sector. This new venture aims to create job opportunities within the community as client numbers grow.
The need for funding stems from ongoing issues in the livestock hauling industry, where brokers often impose high costs by managing their own dispatch services and load boards. This situation negatively impacts owner-operators and small fleet owners, who face limited options and higher expenses. The business intends to offer an alternative by providing dedicated dispatch services, ensuring truckers are not reliant on brokers for loads and can access open load boards.
The competition includes livestock brokers and other dispatchers connected to those brokers, as well as traditional haulers resistant to change. However, the applicant's unique offering of specialized dispatch services in the livestock sector positions them as a pioneer in this niche market, giving them a competitive advantage.

Business Plan
I am currently enrolled in school to help build my credentials and I am expanding into a truck dispatch service. I would like to provide jobs to my community as soon as I can build more clients. There are flaws in the livestock hauling business. The brokers pay for their own dispatch and load boards and control the entire market and owner/operators and small fleet owner have been paying the price. I want to provide these truckers with an alternative and help them by doing the dispatch, so they are not locked into getting loads from unethical brokers. There are open load boards that these particular truckers can use, but there is no one to dispatch for livestock.

Self Identified Competition
Livestock brokers, dispatchers working for the brokers and there will be haulers that do not like change. No one provides these services within the livestock hauling business. I would be a pioneer of sorts.
