Julie and Lane, with extensive experience in the automotive industry, sought assistance from the SBDC to start their own repair service after the sale of Julie's family-owned dealership.

Leveraging their knowledge and clientele, they meticulously crafted a business plan, projecting costs and sales potential. Opting to lease space due to soaring real estate prices, they decided against debt financing, relying on their existing resources.

Their thorough planning enabled them to launch Fastlane Automotive promptly and affordably. They remain open to future expansion, acknowledging the importance of strategic planning with SBDC's support.
