Dear Matthew Atkinson:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following
comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we
may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you

otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our March 15, 2023 letter.

Our Corporate History and Structure, page 2
2.We note your response to comment 5 with respect to your asset acquisition and reissue the

treatment of the transaction, including your statement that you have no subsidiaries. Also
clarify in your response, and in the filing, whether and if so, to what extent, the three
entities whose assets you purchased were under common control at the time of the
acquisitions. We note your response to comment 16, and your revised disclosure in
response to accounting comments 20 and 21. Based on your accounting disclosure, it
appears you should revise the document throughout to clarify when you are referring to
the registrant (since the date of the asset acquisition), and references to your predecessor
(for events that occurred prior to the asset acquisition), so that investors will not be
mistaken that you have a more extensive operating history. We note as examples the
following:
•Mr. Hollst's summary on page 51, which states he has served as your Executive Vice
President since April 2019;
•On page 5, "We have experience in the cleaning industries” without qualification;
•On page 7, "We have historically depended on a limited number of suppliers;"
•On page 45, "For the year ended June 30, 2022, two customers, Por-Link and
Sanzonate, accounted for 62% of our revenue and 74% of our total accounts
receivable at year end;" and
•On page 58, "Since the beginning of our 2021 fiscal year."
These are only examples. You should revise the entire filing, including when addressing
the financial results in Management's Discussion and Analysis and in the Business
section.
Use of Proceeds, page 29
3.We reissue comment 10 in part. It does not appear you have revised your Business
section to clarify your strategy. In addition, please revise this section to specify how you

if the private placement is ongoing.
Employees, page 48

full-time employees of the company. Highlight the risks associated with their limited
participation in the day-to-day operations of the company.
Principal Stockholders, page 59
6.We note your response to comment 17. Please revise to provide a separate column for the

in the Class A common stock totals a percentage of 120%.
