Avanti Green Eco Cleaning, a women-owned local business, has been honored as Small Business of the Year by the Nevada Small Business Development Center (SBDC), a testament to its innovative approach to environmental sustainability in the cleaning industry. Claudia Meneses, CEO and Founder, will receive the award at the SBDC Day event on March 19, marking a significant milestone for the company since its inception in 2011.
The company's journey began with a clear mission: to fill the gap in environmentally-safe cleaning solutions for both homes and commercial spaces. Over the years, Avanti Green has broadened its services to include carpet cleaning, floor cleaning, window cleaning, pressure washing, and event porter services, employing nearly 50 individuals and establishing itself as a leader in eco-friendly cleaning.
Strategic mentorship from SBDC experts in areas such as marketing, lead generation, finance, and accounting has been pivotal in Avanti Green's expansion and operational success. This collaboration underscores the value of expert guidance in scaling small businesses sustainably.
Avanti Green's commitment extends beyond business growth to impactful community engagement through its Eco Kids Club. Partnering with the Clark County School District, the initiative educates young students on sustainability, covering topics like water and energy conservation, recycling, and environmental stewardship. This program reflects the company's dedication to fostering a culture of sustainability from the ground up.
The Small Business of the Year award not only celebrates Avanti Green's contributions to Nevada's business ecosystem but also shines a light on the growing importance of integrating environmental sustainability and community involvement into the core of business operations. For leaders in business and technology, Avanti Green's story offers valuable insights into the potential of sustainable practices to drive both economic success and positive societal impact.
