PUB Spotlight: Faisal Malik
The Plano Chamber is excited to spotlight the members of the first ever Plano United Business (PUB) cohort! We welcomed 10 minority owned small businesses to patriciate in this customized 2-year mentorship program which provides opportunities for growth through membership, education, mentorship, and relationship building.
Veronica Andrulat, our Program Manager, asked CFO & Founder of EPIC Home Healthcare, Faisal Malik, a few questions about his business, her experience in the PUB program, Chamber membership, and more.
1. Tell us a little about yourself!
My strength is I am adaptable and hardworking and I like to think I am a quick learner. Professionally I have over 26 years of experience in Sales, Operations, Retail Management, Financial Analyst and Healthcare. Academically I hold an MBA degree from formerly Dowling College LI New York (Long Island University, New York). I am married with two children ages 20 & 22 (boy and girl).
2. What would you like readers to know about your business? What do you specialize in?
EPIC Home Healthcare is a startup Home care agency licensed with Human Health Services Commission of Texas. We provide home care services to special needs, adults, and elderly. We have dedicated staff ready to serve throughout DFW Area. Did I mention E.P.I.C stands for “every person I care”?
3. What does Plano United Business program mean to you? What have you learned/gained through the program and/or your mentor?
PUB is a great networking platform for small businesses. It is a great effort by Plano Chamber of Commerce to bring small to medium size businesses and startups. It allows me to get to know other businesses and how they survive during challenging times and how they deal with shortfalls.
4. Tell us about your involvement in the Plano community (and Plano Chamber outside of the Plano United Business program).
EPIC Home Healthcare partners with other small businesses to serve our local community e,g we partner with local pharmacies and utilize their services so we can offer to our mutual clients.
5. Why did you choose Plano/Collin County for your business/home?
I have been a proud resident of Plano since 2017. Plano has been ranked one of the best places to raise family and grow business for several years now. It only makes sense to start a business and stay here.
6. Share with us what the future for your business looks like (or your professional career).
Healthcare is one of the fastest growing businesses. There are almost 10,000 people retiring every day in the US and this trend will continue to grow till the end of this decade. Many seniors and special needs will require our services. Therefore, I believe EPIC Home Healthcare has a huge opportunity to grow and serve aging and special need population.
