When it comes to innovative solutions for safer flooring, Jeremy Foss, the founder of Slip Free LLC, is making waves in Michigan. Based in Ann Arbor, Jeremy is bringing SureStep’s renowned anti-slip technology to the state, a revolutionary product designed to prevent slips and falls. Here’s the story of Jeremy, his business, and his passion for safety.
Jeremy’s journey into entrepreneurship is as inspiring as it is practical. After a 20-year career in IT as a senior DevOps engineer, Jeremy felt the pull to work for himself and spend more time with his family, including his two children with special needs. Recognizing the safety challenges faced by vulnerable individuals, he decided to make safety his business priority.
“I wanted to create a world where no one has to worry about slipping and falling, whether it’s on a wet floor or in a bathroom,” Jeremy shares. Slip Free LLC became the first authorized distributor of SureStep in Michigan, offering cutting-edge solutions that have been trusted globally for over 30 years.
Slip Free LLC is all about safety and peace of mind. The company applies SureStep’s proprietary anti-slip chemicals to a variety of surfaces, including:
These services cater to both residential and commercial customers. Jeremy emphasizes the flexibility of the product, noting that it can withstand freezing temperatures and even helps remove ice-melt residue.
“Our solutions are not just functional; they’re a fraction of the cost of a lawsuit,” Jeremy adds, highlighting the value of his services for businesses like restaurants, senior homes, and hotels.
Launching a new business is never without hurdles. For Jeremy, the primary challenge has been educating the Michigan market about SureStep, a brand well-known in over 106 countries but new to the state.
“People often confuse our product with a coating or a mat. But it’s a chemical solution that creates a micro-level grip, invisible to the eye but powerful enough to prevent slips,” Jeremy explains.
Despite the challenges, interest in Slip Free LLC is growing. Jeremy has already started working with local schools and businesses to demonstrate the effectiveness of his product.
Beyond his business, Jeremy is deeply committed to his community. From volunteering at food pantries and Red Cross initiatives to supporting local projects, Jeremy believes in giving back. “Being involved in the community is important, especially as a local business owner,” he says.
Jeremy is optimistic about the future. Slip Free LLC is currently offering a 10% discount for first-time customers and exploring financing options to make safety solutions accessible to everyone.
“This business is not just about profits. It’s about making a difference and helping people live safer lives,” Jeremy concludes.
Jeremy Foss and Slip Free LLC are proof that passion and purpose can drive meaningful change. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to make your bathroom safer or a business aiming to reduce liability, Slip Free LLC is ready to serve.
