Unica Enterprises: Building Futures Through Entrepreneurship and Community

Humble Beginnings and Entrepreneurial Drive

• 💡 Nancy Galvan and Eric Marceleno, owners of Unica Enterprises in Dallas, view their cleaning business as more than just work; it's about creating jobs and futures.
• 🎯 Nancy, a first-generation individual whose parents worked in demanding jobs, pursued a communications degree and worked in corporate America before starting a cleaning company to manage debt.
• 💰 Initially running the business in evenings while keeping her day job, Nancy eventually transitioned to full-time entrepreneurship with the support of her parents, who gave her a check to "multiply it."

Partnership and Growth

• 🤝 Eric, who had over 20 years in corporate America, joined Unica Enterprises after a conversation with Nancy, seeing the potential in their combined efforts.
• 🚀 The business achieved a significant milestone with an ADA certification, opening doors to larger government contracts.
• 📈 They secured their first contract with the US Army Corps of Engineers and, in 2018, were awarded a $2 million contract, followed by another award shortly after.
• 🌟 Further expansion included contracts with DFW Airport's rental car center, the city of Arlington, Irving, and Cedar Hill, demonstrating substantial growth.

Complementary Strengths and Vision

• 🔥 Nancy and Eric describe their dynamic as "fire and ice," with complementary strengths that make them an unbeatable force as a couple and business partners.
• 💼 They project $7 million in revenue for 2025, supporting 165 jobs and providing opportunities for employees.
• 🎓 Unica Enterprises actively hires from the local Oak Cliff neighborhood and schools, and they are committed to handing out scholarships to the younger generation.
• ✨ Their ultimate goal is to inspire younger people to see themselves as potential business owners and CEOs, embodying the American dream through their daily operations and community impact.
