Enviro-Master is Targeting Shreveport for Growth
North America's Health & Safety Leader is Looking For a Few Good Men (Or Women) to Bring Concept To Shreveport

Ron Finch, an Alabama resident, didn’t need Veterans Day yesterday to remind him that he’s in select company. But he enjoyed the many thanks he received for his service.
A career Naval officer who served 22 years, Finch is a franchise owner with Enviro-Master, North America’s leading health and safety-focused commercial cleaning service that has doubled in size since 2012. A favorite among veterans, Enviro-Master offers a 25 percent discount to former military members. Conversely, veterans are a favorite among franchisors, and with good reason. “Veterans are equipped with the most important qualities for running a business,” said the 46-year-old Finch. “I would tell any veteran to keep their nose to the grindstone, because it’s going to be a lot of work. However, the reward is great; the ability to make a difference in others’ lives, to make a difference in the community where you live and financial independence and autonomy for yourself.” Finch’s Enviro-Master serves commercial businesses throughout the Florida Panhandle and the Gulf Coast regions of Alabama and Mississippi.
Now the company is actively looking for another Finch-type franchisee to serve Shreveport, Louisiana.

“We welcome many types of individuals who make great franchisees,” said Brian Wieters, EVP of Franchise Development for Enviro-Master, “but veterans seem to fit particularly well with our model.”
The company provides unique processes and products that disinfect and sterilize surfaces that serve as breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses. The biggest of those affect workplace productivity every day. Flu, Hepatitis, Norovirus and MRSA are just a few of the contagions tackled by Enviro-Master’s commercial restroom hygiene service. The germ fighting formula is applied with EPA-registered, non-toxic products and ensures that 99.99 percent of germs are killed.

Enviro-Master is the recognized leader in the $61 billion commercial cleaning industry, which is expected to grow by an additional two percent in 2019 alone, according to experts. Currently targeting growth in major markets throughout North America, Enviro-Master’s continued growth is fueled by five basic fundamentals: 1) Large, identifiable markets; 2) Lack of competition; 3) Recession resistance; 4) Recurring revenue model; and 5) Service that can’t be displaced by technology. “I considered a few different franchises at first, but Enviro-Master was my favorite choice based on their business model,” Finch said. “After my discovery weekend with Enviro-Master leadership and staff, I knew it was the right choice.”
