Minority Business Highlight: City Business Integrated Solutions

City Business Integrated Solutions (CBIS), established in 2022 by Steve Anderson, is a minority-owned enterprise based in Indianapolis.

The company positioned itself as a versatile service provider, offering a comprehensive suite of services across environmental maintenance, waste removal, hauling and commercial and residential clean-up.

Reflecting on the company’s inception, Anderson remarked, “You would be surprised how a $115 business registration fee can change your life,” highlighting the transformative impact of formalizing his venture. Drawing from his experience at Interstate Business Solutions, he sought to eliminate intermediaries and directly serve clients.

“I started my own business because as a minority, I wanted to cut out the middleman,” Anderson said.

CBIS’ extensive service portfolio includes janitorial services, dumpster rentals, power pressure washing, sanitary solutions, waste removal and specialized subcontracting in landscaping, trenching/excavation and painting.

This diverse range underscores Anderson’s belief that “you don’t have to do construction to be in construction.”

The company’s commitment to excellence is further demonstrated through its certifications, including Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) and Small Business Enterprise (SBE) statuses. These credentials enable CBIS to operate within Indiana and on a federal level, extending its services to neighboring states such as Kentucky and Ohio.

CBIS’s mission is encapsulated in its motto: “If your environment is not your liking, change it!”

This philosophy drives the company’s dedication to enhancing community spaces and ensuring client satisfaction. Operating from its Indianapolis headquarters at 5131 E 21st St, CBIS is strategically positioned to serve a broad clientele. The company prides itself on being a “one-stop-shop” for business needs, striving to deliver fast, reliable, high-quality services.

In a competitive market, CBIS distinguishes itself through its comprehensive service offerings and unwavering commitment to quality.

As a minority-owned business, it is pivotal in promoting diversity and inclusion within the industry. With a foundation built on experience, certifications, and a client-centric approach, CBIS is poised for sustained growth and continued success in the years to come.

“You would be surprised how far $115 to register your business goes,” Anderson said.

The CBIS founder said expansion is on the horizon, getting into other fields of construction such as abatement, asbestos removal and concrete work. Anderson said that expanding what his business does will allow him to build upon his team.

“Ultimately, I want to open doors for others,” Anderson told the Indiana Minority Business Magazine. “There are not a lot of minority-owned construction companies that are in the spaces I am in. I want to continue to build on that with people who want to work as hard as I do.”

City Business Intergrated Solutions is located at 5131 East 21st Street, Indianapolis, IN., 46218.
