About Environmental Service Professionals, Inc.
Environmental Service Professionals, Inc. ("EVSP") is a Nevada Corporation headquartered in Southern California. ESP's strategy is to continue acquiring several businesses that have complimentary goals for dealing with environmental issues and resolving environmentally sensitive problems. ESP has already completed two acquisitions and is in various stages of discussion and/or negotiations with several other companies that management believes are operationally and economically suitable for the ESP growth model. The current acquisition candidates, once completed, will include some that will remain free-standing subsidiaries and others that will be absorbed into existing operations.
Since 1996, ESP's inspection division has offered franchised inspection services for addressing mold and moisture intrusion that can have an acute or chronic negative impact on the indoor air quality of commercial and residential buildings. The division has franchises and branch offices in many regions of North America that are independently owned and operated.
ESP's strategy, in-part, requires the division to replace the franchise structure and establish a new method of service delivery, the Certified Environmental Home Inspector Program ("CEHI"). The division is to continue to refine and implement both the Annual Mold and Moisture Maintenance ("MMM") and the National Builder's Mold and Moisture ("NBMM") subscription-based maintenance programs including all related products and services. ESP intends to provide Peace of Mind to the consumer for their Family, for their Home and for their Health.
