Hope Cleaning Inc.

5 business ideas that make a big impact on society, featuring purpose-driven businesses I love in Calgary, Alberta: 1) Hire people with barriers to employment: Hope Cleaning Inc. is a residential and commercial cleaning service that hires women in vulnerable situations to give them the necessary supports to thrive. 🧼 2) Focus on serving an underserved population. Example: Red Community Midwives creates a safe and inclusive environment to serve Calgary's diverse rainbow of families including people of all ages, relationship statuses, income and education levels, abilities, ethnicities, faiths, sexual orientations, gender identities, body types, immigration statuses and life circumstances. 🚼 🏳‍🌈 3) Sell a product/ service that solves a social or environmental problem. Example: Origin Energy Efficiency offers investment-grade energy audits and energy efficiency measures to save you costs while reducing your footprint. 🔆 4) Sell products that challenge the status quo. Example: Madame Premier uses her business - both products and the facility - to encourage women's participation in the political realm, and other traditionally male-dominated spaces. ✊ 5) Use your profits to financially sustain a non-profit. Example: The profits from Good Trade Co. coffee shops financially sustain their non-profit in Colombia, which provides education programs to youth in coffee-growing regions. ☕ Business 👏 can👏 create 👏 positive👏 impact.
