Bio
Printella Bankhead was born in Sulligent, Alabama. She is the founder and President of EBS Security Inc., Jacksonville, FL and has over 26 years of experience in the security industry. Her lifetime achievements include: Author of Staying on Course in Business and in Life, Honor Graduate of Florida State College, Graduate of International Correspondence School, Kaplan College Program Advisory Board ,Coach, Speaker, Strathmore’s Who’s Who, Jacksonville Small and Emerging Business Certified, Government Certified, Women Business Certified, Minority Business Certified, Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce Member, Better Business Bureau Member, American Federation of Police and Concerned Citizens Member and Toastmasters International Member.
Her Journey as a Businesswoman
I was an administrative assistant and security officer prior to establishing EBS Security Inc. Drawing from the information and experience gained from both jobs enabled me to envision the organizational design that I wanted for my company. I was able to apply my administration background for maintaining EBS’s office records and payroll, and I used my security knowledge to gain contracts by assessing a client’s need for protection.
Her Advice to First Time Business Owners
The importance of maintaining business receipts was my first year lesson learned. Although I had extensive office knowledge, I had never worked with maintaining property records. So, during my second year in business I was audited by the I.R.S. and I was not prepared. It took me quite some time to gather the business receipts for property and material purchased during the first year of business. Needless to say, that same year I purchased a computerized record keeping system.
I have discovered that two of the most common mistakes that first time business owners make are:
- Not conducting background or reference checks on hired employees
- Hiring family and friends
Background and reference checks are essential in a business’ hiring process. Both checks will provide an insight of the potential employees’ character, knowledge and behaviorism for employers. The hiring of employees based on family ties or friendships does not necessarily mean that these persons are a good-fit for the company. This type of hiring will often lead to difficulty when enforcing company policy and discipline.
Her Nuggets of Wisdom for Aspiring Businesswomen
- Make sure that you enjoy working in the business you are establishing.
- Learn or continue to learn as much as you can about your industry.
- Create a business plan or revise your business plan (based on growth and need).
- Prepare yourself to work harder than you have in any previous job(s).
- Market your business.
Her Vision for EBS Security, Inc.
Within the next five years, EBS Security, Inc. will have at least three 8(a) government contracts, and approximately 200 to 300 employees. My long-term goals are to expand the company throughout the State of Florida, and into several of the surrounding states.
