Express Stucco & Wall Services, Inc.
Diversifying business through contracting opportunities.
Expresso Stucco & Wall Service is a family owned business
established in 2003. The company specializes in stucco, EIFS,
concrete sidewalks and slabs.
Seeking to expand his business in 2008, owner Wilson Wright was
referred by the Kissimmee Chamber of Commerce to the SBDC. In
May 2008, Mr. Wright met with an SBDC certified business analyst
to receive assistance in accessing new markets. The SBDC
counseled and provided a number of recommendations to increase
Wright’s business. While working with the SBDC, Mr. Wright began
to seek opportunities in working with the local government. Many
of his existing clients expressed interest in doing business
with him and required that he become certified as a Minority
Business Enterprise. The staff of the SBDC assisted Mr. Wright
with the certification process with the City of Orlando and
Orange County.
By October 2008, he was certified by both entities and more
importantly began using his certification as a marketing tool
which ended up being a value added benefit to several of his
clients. “The SBDC was instrumental in helping us become
certified to bid on contracts. From providing the application
forms, to working with us to complete every phase, including
numerous calls to answer our questions, the SBDC is the reason
we can proudly say that we are now certified with both the City
and the County.” Mr. Wright continues to utilize the services of
the SBDC. |
“Today I am very proud as I drive by the many different jobs we
have completed and the SBDC helped us achieve this.”
