Boca Raton, FL | December 2008
Coverall Health-Based Cleaning SystemSM, a leading commercial cleaning franchise company, announced today that it has been recognized by the National Minority Franchising Initiative (NMFI) as one of the organization’s Top 50 Franchises for Minorities. The list of top franchises was placed in USA Today – Franchising Today section of the newspaper.
The NMFI selected 50 franchisors from more than 300 companies requesting evaluation for inclusion in the article. Each participating franchisor was required to submit its most recent Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) and the marketing package that is sent to prospective franchisees, in addition to a completed questionnaire. The questionnaire noted the number of operating units owned by minorities, as well as the number of minorities in senior management that earned more than $60,000 per year.
According to Rob Bond, co-founder of the NMFI, "It is both surprising and rewarding to see how many companies not only talk the talk, but more importantly walk the walk. There are a number of companies that actually have a majority of minority franchisees within their system. Many others have a significant number of minorities within their senior management. The times, they definitely are a-changin'. This list is a great honor for those franchise systems selected. The analysis was rigorous and entirely objective. We are unaware of any other study that has published a similarly rigorous analysis."/p>

It's a great example of how we have been able to grow our business effectively," said Ted Elliott, President & CEO of Coverall Health-Based Cleaning System.
