When Tampa entrepreneur Alex Chamberlain sought ideas about how to grow his fingerprints and background check business, he went straight to the shirts.
That happened at a lunch meeting with Leeward Bean, a Dunedin businessman who built a national franchise success out of Big Frog Custom T-Shirts. Chamberlain read about Bean in an article, and the lunch meeting sparked ideas on how Chamberlain could grow his business, EZFingerprints.
Largo-based EZFingerprints performs onsite Level 2 FBI background checks and fingerprint services for a host of businesses and organizations, from real estate brokerages to hospitals to massage chains. The model is exceedingly simple: There are walk-in appointments, or EZFingerprints will come to the client. Customers pay in cash, check, credit or invoice.
