Case Study: Bob Lepper successfully sells his school with SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty

Bob Lepper - Customer Case Study

Bob Lepper, owner of a successful day school for middle and high school students with social, emotional, and learning challenges, needed help planning for the eventual sale of his business. As he prepared to retire after more than a decade of building the school’s reputation, he turned to SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty for guidance on valuation, broker selection, and navigating the sale process.

SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty, through mentor Don Wheeler, helped Lepper obtain a business valuation, interview brokers, evaluate contract terms, and work through final negotiation points. The result was a smooth closing in which Lepper sold the business successfully and received full price from the buyer, with measurable value coming from the stronger sale process and better-informed decisions.
