FFE/RE:
This established US company is offering a portfolio of Agentic AI assets that use natural language processing (NLP) and machine translation (MT) technologies. These technologies take advantage of the massive growth by Nvidia (NIMS), OpenAI (ChatGPT), IBM (WatsonX), Microsoft (Copilot) and others who seek AI software solutions. This company’s tools add a key semantic layer that enhances reasoning, enables faster model training, and deftly handles nuances.
The centerpiece of the portfolio is a Controlled Language program with algorithms that use NLP to improve clarity, readability, standardization and language translatability. The software applies thousands of AI rules to perform morphological analyses, text disambiguation, tokenization, POS tagging, named entity detection, chunking, parsing, semantic layering and predictive logic. Complex technical information is recast in a succinct format that humans, robots and computers can understand.
The portfolio includes text mining and lexicon management tools, and the software understands text formats, including Word, structured documentation XML, DITA and HTML. For enhanced reasoning, users can create custom dictionaries containing industry and company-specific terminology.
The company’s focus has been on regulated industries for standards compliance and risk mitigation. The portfolio assets help companies comply with US Department of Defense and NATO mandates requiring compliance with Simplified Technical English (STE) for mission-critical software and documentation. The portfolio includes an Aviation English version developed to improve airline pilot and FAA control tower communications.
The technology would provide a competitive advantage to any company focused on sustainability and digital transformation—particularly those in the cybersecurity, product safety, supply chain, digital workforce education, digital twins, AR training, IoT platforms, edge device and smart machine segments.
A key portfolio asset is an application developed for a multinational telecommunication company to mitigate errors in broadband network software documentation at Verizon, China Mobile, NTT and other carriers—which the client credited with reducing procedural errors by 42%.
The software complies with the US Government Plain Writing Act of 2010, which requires all federal executive agencies to use Plain English. The new DOGE mandates that government agencies remove jargon, idioms and pretentious language that can negatively affect customer satisfaction. The software is ideal for the delivery of government and citizen services information.
The estimated time to build an AI engine of this level is seven years. These assets can be operational and ready to scale in 30 days.
This company has enjoyed a rich history of partnering with all major transportation service providers for US military relocations. Some of these include but are not limited to: National Forwarding, Charter Transportation, Interstate, Total Military Management, Tier one, and is already approved for the New Provider Home Safe Alliance.
In addition to being able to serve all the lower 48 states, they also maintain 2 additional crews and trucks for local work both in and outside military jobs. The drivers enjoy an average 18-year level of experience with the company. Currently, 3 additional subcontractors are looking to sign on. This company also enjoys National account experience and can go toe-to-toe with the larger enterprise-based National moving companies in terms of pricing and profitability.
Due to the nature of many of their clients, A/R is never an issue as they typically bill on the day the move is delivered and factor the receivable with a national factoring company.
While advertising has not been this company’s strong suit, they have managed to amass a tremendous book of business from real estate brokers who consistently refer work to them. In addition, it is to be noted that the owner has always been the only “salesperson” having grown this company primarily by word of mouth and military contracts.
Some other ways to significantly grow revenue that the owner has not instituted but if he were 20 years younger would be getting involved with origin and destination services. An example of this would be military packing, storage, as well as overseas work. The owner is willing to support the transition as needed.

The owners are seeking to retire however members of management would like to see the business succeed and would be willing to stay on for several more years should the new owner desire this.
The Company’s growth is currently limited by the capacity of its existing equipment and workforce. The Company cannot take on more business, and as a result, the Company does not actively market its services and seek new business and additional work is turned down. An investment in higher RPM machines and new technologies such as 3D printing, have been identified as opportunities that would increase capacity, capabilities and generate significant additional earnings within a very short period of time. Finally, the Company currently has no online presence — creating a website along with online marketing efforts would be expected to increase business substantially.
