Well, is that so...? Its one such critical business where outside and inside economy both affects the business. Not like any other business that will be influenced only by inside economy alone.

Because of the global competitive and the big forwarding companies!! It is hard to operate a freight forwarding business if you don't have a capital and equipment.

There are two layers concerning connection regarding how to start a freight forwarding business.
First of this is the connection you have to have so that the moving of goods can be done without troubles to the recipient.
It cannot over emphasize that you need a network of connection in every States so that when you move the goods to its destination somebody will take care of it for you.
You are just starting up as a freight forwarder and unlike UPS or FedEx that have established its own network by itself you still have to create a partnership with other companies one way or another.
The second aspect of connection on how to start a freight forwarding business is how you can achieve the first aspect.
This is through the help of your state and or your embassy if you are already forwarding abroad.
These entities will help you have connections.
