Environmental Compliance Office, a firm that specializes in writing and interpreting environmental regulations, has grown to four people in its first 1 1/2 years and it hopes to reach $1 million in revenue within the next year.
"We saw a real niche out there for understanding environmental regulations," says company president Vimala Aninshetty, who started the company with Dennis Karl.
The Ontario Ministry of the Environment has proven to be its best customer so far.
ECO hopes to continue to grow and add as many as three new people in the near future as more work comes in. That growth will take place in the
Fisher Building, where it gets a free 3-year lease as part of Farbman Group’s
Michigan Now! program for start-up firms.
"We love the
Fisher Building," Aninshetty says. "We love everything about it. We hope to expand to more space as we bring in more people."
