“Jennifer [Stephens] put together recommendations and meetings with individuals thatwere willing to help and get everything rolling. I am very impressed by her knowledge andability to guide an individual to success.”Milt and Jennifer Itskos, Owners


Miltand Jennifer Itskos have a successful vehicle repair business in Missoula with animpeccable reputation. Spartans has such a good reputation that clients are often willingto wait for service rather than work with another vehicle repair business. The highdemandwas exceeding the human resources and physical capacity of the existing repair facility. Milt and Jennifer contacted the Missoula SBDC for assistance in scaling their business.


Jenn Stephens, Missoula Regional Director, assisted Milt and Jennifer with financial projections and business planning guidance for their initial plan to build a new vehiclerepair shop. When Milt and Jennifer found an existing vehicle repair center that was for sale, Jenn helped identify SBA loans that they qualified for andassisted them through thelending process.


With the help from their local SBDC, Milt and Jennifer were successful insecuring$1,209,000 in total financing for the purchase of the existing facility. The new, largerlocation has allowed Spartans to retainfour jobs and create an additional two. As ofJanuary 2019, revenues for Spartans are exceeding projections by 35% to 40%. Milt andJennifer continue to grow their business by providing superior customer care andconsistent vehicle repair services to theirclients.
