CDC/Small Business Lender Environmental Risk Survey Results: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Thanks to those who participated in the recent Environmental Risk Survey. We sent this survey to small lenders and CDC's nationally, and we had a very good response.  

The most interesting responses were these:
  • Desktop environmental screening sometimes reveals an elevated environmental risk, necessitating another step: the more costly and time consuming Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA). 
    • About 90% responded:
      • "It would be nice if we could avoid this extra step up front. We're always looking for ways to speed our deals up and have them cost less."
and......

  • If the fee were waived for desktop environmental screens which found an "elevated risk" and then subsequently recommended a Phase I ESA (AKA "Clean or Free Guarantee"), it would be advantageous for our organization and our clients.
    • 100% of responses indicated:
      • "Yes.  Eliminating this "double dip" would save time and money."

We suspected this would be the case, based on our preliminary conversations with some of our clients. However, we were really surprised that the survey supported this so strongly. 

As a result of these survey results, we are introducing a brand new concept in the environmental risk industry.

Here's the "Clean or Free" guarantee, in 40 seconds:



Our revolutionary approach to environmental risk management for real estate collateral has three fundamental and unique advantages: 

  • "Clean or Free" means that EZ-Screen quickly clears the property as low environmental risk, or there is no charge. 


Your fee will be waived or refunded.  No more fear of being "double dipped".


  • We provide personalized, in-house expertise on every project.  
    • We don't outsource anything to a "network" of "partners" who may not be qualified to assess environmental risk, and who may have an undisclosed conflict of interest in recommending additional work. 
    • If your project warrants additional investigation, we have no conflicts of interest. This is one way you can rest assured that we always have your best interest in mind.

  • We've been in business 22 years, and in that time, our experience has taught us how to be the value leader.  At under $300 and 48 hour turnaround, no competitor can beat our value. 

Our clients tell us that they won't entrust their environmental risk decisions with anyone else.  

Give us a try on your next project and find out what they mean.
