The Bannon Report: Smarter Fraud Prevention for the Freight Industry

Overview
The Bannon Report is a predictive fraud prevention platform built for the 96% of the supply chain industry priced out by expensive legacy tools. We deliver instant risk assessments through a proprietary scoring system, helping brokers, carriers, shippers, insurers, and factoring companies avoid load theft, double brokering, and identity spoofing before they happen.

• Customers include brokers, carriers, shippers, insurance providers, and factoring companies
• Most subscribers choose enterprise-level plans, confirming strong demand at the high end
• Proprietary database of over 18,000 high-risk carriers and brokers built from real fraud cases
• SaaS model with low overhead, designed for speed, margin, and scalability
• Bootstrapped to date and operating efficiently
• On track to reach 500 to 1,000 subscribers by year-end, generating $400,000 to $800,000 in annual recurring revenue

The Opportunity
We are raising $500,000 in exchange for 20 percent equity, based on a $2.5 million valuation
• Shares are priced at $2.50 each
• Round is structured as preferred stock with broad-based weighted average anti-dilution protection

Why Now
• Fraud is reaching record levels across freight, finance, and insurance
• Existing solutions are overpriced, reactive, or rely too heavily on artificial intelligence
• More than 2 million underserved small and medium-sized businesses need daily fraud prevention tools
• Our algo-led, rules-based system is already preventing six-figure losses for users
• Achieving strong early adoption with no paid acquisition
• Built by industry insiders who understand the problem firsthand

Founders
Phillip Brink, Co-Founder and CEO
Founded a $5 million in ARR freight brokerage and has over 12 years of logistics and leadership experience. When fraud began affecting his business in 2021, he started building what would become The Bannon Report.

Christopher Allen, Co-Founder and COO
Spent four years unknowingly working at a fraudulent insurance agency. He later used that experience to help design our proprietary fraud detection framework.

The Vision
Our goal is to become the trusted risk assessment platform for every stakeholder in the freight industry. Long-term, our technology will expand into sectors like banking and healthcare to stop fraud at scale.

Exit Strategy
We aim to position the company for acquisition or licensing within 24 to 36 months, offering early investors meaningful upside in a fast-growing and underserved market.

The Bannon Report is the freight industry’s version of TSA PreCheck, created by insiders, trusted by professionals, and built to stop fraud before it starts.
