Avanti Green Eco Cleaning, a local women-owned business dedicated to environmentally friendly cleaning services, has been named Small Business of the Year by the Nevada Small Business Development Center (SBDC), recognizing the company's remarkable growth and innovative approach to the cleaning industry.
CEO and Founder Claudia Meneses will accept the award during SBDC Day on March 19, reflecting her company's transformative journey since its establishment in 2011. What began as a mission to introduce environmentally safe cleaning solutions has evolved into a comprehensive service provider employing nearly 50 people across the Las Vegas metropolitan area.
The company's recent expansion of services, including carpet cleaning, floor maintenance, window cleaning, pressure washing, and event porter services, demonstrates its strategic growth and adaptability. By offering a one-stop-shop for eco-friendly cleaning solutions, Avanti Green has positioned itself as a leader in sustainable commercial and residential cleaning.
Critical to the company's success has been its ongoing partnership with the SBDC, which provided crucial guidance in marketing, lead generation, and financial strategy. This support enabled Meneses to scale her business effectively while maintaining a strong commitment to environmental principles.
Beyond its business achievements, Avanti Green has distinguished itself through community engagement. The launch of the Eco Kids Club, a partnership with the Clark County School District, underscores the company's dedication to environmental education. Through free 30-minute workshops for kindergarten through second-grade students, the company is nurturing ecological awareness among young learners.
The SBDC award represents more than a recognition of business success; it highlights the potential for small businesses to drive meaningful environmental and community change. Avanti Green's model demonstrates how entrepreneurial vision, combined with sustainable practices, can create significant economic and social impact.
