November 5, 2005 (Press Release) --
“Minority Operated Women Owned small businesses” (MOWOsb) are growing in numbers for the sale of janitorial supplies. Two reasons exist: 1)low investment and a wealth of prior experience attract MOWOsb to the janitorial supply business and 2)low attrition of the mature janitorial supply businesses, especially among the MOWOsb, forces their numbers to grow even more.
Recently, the city of Detroit witnessed the phenomenon where two MOWOsb merged their local janitorial supply businesses while continuing to operate separately on the Internet (reference http://www.free-press-release.com/news/200510/1130439848.html).
The merger sprung from the initial desire by one owner of the two MOWOsb to sell the business. The sale sounded easy, at first. Listed below are the top 5 reasons why the owner found that the sale of the business would be wrong:
1) “Loyal local customers” keep the MOWOsb from failing as other small businesses often do. Casting them off to develop new business relationships with some other unknown janitorial supply company would be unfair.
2) Company employees are family. This extended family frequently consists of minority employees and/or women who significantly increased their status in life, while working for the MOWOsb. The MOWOsb do not put family on the street.
3) Company value is difficult for everyone to see. While janitorial supplies often go on sale, the MOWOsb would not sell their companies below the true value.
4) Cultural “loss of face”. If the customers, employees and/or company were to struggle after the sale, the owner would suffer from the unacceptable “loss of face”.
5) Personal self-worth can deteriorate if the status as owner changes.
Merger in lieu of offering her company for sale was the answer for one such person from the Detroit area, Nobuko(Donson)Leanhardt, President/Owner of Donson Supply, Inc.* The merger allowed Ms. Leanhardt to stay involved in the local business from a distance to guarantee that the individual needs of her “loyal local customers” were still being met. Having a partner via the merger to run the day-to-day local operations, time became available to focus more on the Internet portion of her business.
“Yes”, Ms. Leanhardt still owns and operates the Donson Supply drop-ship Internet business for the sale of janitorial supplies; in addition to, the new partnership established by the announced merger of her local janitorial supply business. While the option to sell was at first considered, she will tell you that the merger has been just what the “doctor ordered” in this very competitive business.
Released by Donson Supply, Inc. for the purpose of clearing up any confusion about the previously announced merger.
