Case Study: Olympus Technical achieves successful business acquisition and growth with SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty

Olympus Technical - Customer Case Study

Olympus Technical Services, led by Curt Serviss, Alan Stine, and Michael Backe, needed help turning three branch offices into a new independent company. They were strong engineers but needed guidance on accounting, financing, legal issues, insurance, and structuring an employee ownership incentive program.

SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty provided mentoring and business planning support through Bob Russell and Charles “Chick” Rollings, helping the founders refine their acquisition strategy, financial projections, and ownership structure. With SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty’s help, Olympus Technical Services secured competitive funding, completed the purchase on January 1, 1999, and exceeded first-year sales expectations with more than $1.7 million in revenue, while also launching an employee stock ownership program for its 16 full-time employees.
