What does your business do?

Excel Fire LLC is a new addition to the security industry formed in 2018 and operating in Michigan and Indiana. The company specializes in the installation of security and alarm systems including automation products, surveillance camera, fire alarm and access control systems. Our clients are mostly retail, manufacturing and government facilities. In the short time we have been open, the company has built a solid reputation for high quality work and it is growing rapidly. Top notch service, high quality products and competitive prices have established us as a contender in the market. Growing customer demand for our services is currently outstripping our ability to take on all the work requested of us and we must expand quickly to take advantage of the opportunity to grow our client list. We are currently seeking funding to increase our fleet, acquire more scissor lifts and equipment trailers and hire more employees to keep up with demand.

How would you use the grant money?

We would use the grant money to buy another computer and additional office furnishings to keep up with the company's expansion and finis the website.

What would the grant enable you to do that you can't now?

The publicity and advertising will help us bring in even more business and spur growth even further than we originally planned

If Idea Cafe's Grant helps your biz reach greater success, how will you "pay it forward" to help others in some way?

If the grant helps us reach greater success we will expand our policy of hiring and training veterans and young adults looking for a better life. We are committed to these target groups already and look forward to offering jobs to even more individuals from this demographic
