Success-Stories - Florida SBDC at the University of Central Florida

World Housing Solution

For entrepreneurs and small business owners, a strategic pivot can mean the difference between success and failure. But executing that pivot often requires expert guidance. Ron Ben-Zeev, founder and president of modular shelter manufacturer World Housing Solution, made just such a bold shift — from targeting the disaster relief market to supplying the U.S. Department of Defense. To capitalize on this new direction, he turned to the Florida Small Business Development Center at the University of Central Florida (FSBDC at UCF), where he found the support he needed.

World Housing Solution was born in 2010 in response to the devastating earthquake in Haiti. The company developed durable, sustainable shelters designed for rapid deployment in disaster zones. Despite the need, the market wasn’t ready. “No one cared at the time,” Ben-Zeev recalls. “We were met with a lot of skepticism and a lot of the word ‘No’. Then the Department of Defense discovered us and we pivoted. The U.S. Navy challenged us to make the shelters bigger and allowed us to actually start selling our ideas and inventions.”

That pivot proved transformative. “The main differentiator between us and our competition is that we truly listen to our customers,” explains Ben-Zeev. “We live and die by the fact that no one cares about our solutions; they only care about their problems. What we’ve been able to do is intersect our capabilities, our solutions, with problems the Department of Defense is facing when deploying in remote or austere environments.”

Yet navigating government contracting was unfamiliar terrain—and notoriously complex. That’s when Ben-Zeev turned to the FSBDC and its government contracting affiliate, the Florida APEX Accelerator at UCF. “The FSBDC as a resource has become invaluable to us,” he says. “Working with the Department of Defense and the U.S. government is truly byzantine. It is a difficult process, filled with traps and issues and acronyms. The folks at the FSBDC have been absolutely amazing in guiding us through the maze of doing business with the government.”

The FSBDC’s support extended far beyond contracting. “The assistance that is provided by the FSBDC is just endless,” Ben-Zeev raves. “Every time I speak with folks in the office, I discover new ways and other things that they’re doing to help business flourish and thrive. For us particularly, it has been phenomenal in learning how do we market abroad? How do we improve our online presence? How do we leverage other smart people in the Orlando ecosystem?”

World Housing Solution also participated in the FSBDC’s award-winning Advisory Board Council program, which assembles a customized board of expert volunteers to advise and guide businesses over 18–24 months. In World Housing Solution’s case, the Board was comprised of volunteers with expertise in government business development, accounting, the law, finance and operations who helped Ben-Zeev explore those and other facets of his business and its strategic plan.

But for Ben-Zeev, the biggest win came from working with Steve South, manager of the Florida APEX Accelerator at UCF. “Thinking back about how Steve took the time to better understand what we do; how to narrow our NAICS Search codes, for example; how to be able to take those codes and target them through the APEX Accelerator so that, when opportunities arise out there, we get alerted as quickly as possible. Then, going back to Steve, and leveraging his know-how and his capabilities, to decide if we respond and how we respond, and then maximizing our ability to then win the bid or get in front of the right person. All of it has been extremely helpful to us overall and has been instrumental in the success of our company in Florida.”

Era Group

Entrepreneurship can be daunting for anyone, including for those with a military career in their background. For many veterans, like Marine Denny Ying, the unfamiliar terrain of business ownership presents a steep learning curve and new challenges. Fortunately for Ying, the Florida Small Business Development Center at the University of Central Florida (FSBDC at UCF), specifically its Sumter County office, was there to help him navigate the unknown.

Ying’s entrepreneurial journey began with the decision to buy a franchise. “Starting a business takes a lot of time and resources and, quite honestly, I just don’t have all the know-how and confidence you need,” he admits. That’s when he turned to the FSBDC and consultant Jamie Mead for guidance. Together, they evaluated 10 franchise opportunities through market research, franchise disclosure document analysis, and financial modeling. “We really looked hard at all the different options,” recalls Ying, “in terms of viability, cash flow, financing, and also market data. I appreciate how Jamie worked to understand my needs and really helped guide me along the way to come up with the decision I did.”

Ying ultimately invested in an ERA Group franchise, a global leader in cost management consulting. ERA Group supports middle-market businesses and nonprofits with cost intelligence and savings strategies. Its ‘No Win, No Fee’ model ensures its clients only pay when savings are realized, minimizing financial risk. “We are never the star of the show,” describes Ying. “We are the wingman helping companies look at areas where they do not have the time, resources, or expertise to focus. We help unlock hidden cash flow that can be directed to mission critical opportunities.”

ERA Group’s reputation speaks for itself, having earned the Global Franchise Awards’ titles of ‘Best Business & Professional Services Franchise 2025’ and ‘2025 Grand Champion.’ Ying is now building his business around delivering measurable value to clients, backed by the support and structure of a proven franchise system.

When reflecting on his experience with the FSBDC, Ying encouraged other entrepreneurs to take advantage of its services and resources. “What I would share with another entrepreneur who is thinking about engaging with the FSBDC is: there’s no cost! There’s no risk! Why would you not want to?” he explains. “Their entire engagement is really to help support you and put resources around you, whether it is their consulting, workshops, or financial modeling. This is your time and Jamie and the FSBDC are waiting to help you.”

Thanks to the FSBDC’s expert guidance, Ying has successfully launched his business and is confidently forging ahead in his new civilian career. With a strong foundation and a clear mission, he’s proving that with the right support, veterans can thrive as entrepreneurs, just as they did as warriors.

Living Well Health Center

Entrepreneurs often become so immersed in the daily operations of their businesses that they overlook valuable resources available to help them grow. That was the case for Dr. Richard Takanen, founder and owner of Living Well Health Center in St. Cloud, FL—until he connected with the Florida Small Business Development Center at the University of Central Florida (FSBDC at UCF).

Living Well Health Center is a comprehensive wellness practice best known for its expert chiropractic care led by Dr. Takanen. Its mission, “Helping You Reach Your Full Potential,” reflects a broad spectrum of services including massage therapy, acoustic shock wave treatment, regenerative medicine, medical weight loss, bioidentical hormone therapy, and IV therapies. “What makes us different is we have all kinds of treatments to get people feeling better,” explains Dr. Takanen. “If they come in for chiropractic but they’re not getting the results they want, we have all kinds of different therapies and modalities that help patients reach their full health potential.”

In 2024, a series of setbacks—including two hurricanes within three weeks—hit the business hard. “While we didn’t have physical damage to our office, it cratered and plummeted our patient numbers,” he recalls. “We missed out on almost an entire month’s worth of income.”

That’s when Dr. Takanen discovered the FSBDC wasn’t just for startups. “I really thought it was only for new businesses, but I couldn’t have been more wrong,” he admits. “They’re also there for established businesses. So I reached out to them.”

He began working with FSBDC consultant Maria Cevallos at the center’s new St. Cloud office. Together, they took a deep dive into the business’s operations. “She was very helpful,” says Dr. Takanen. “We broke down how my office runs, who our clientele is, and found where the flaws are in our business. Then we came up with solutions and a game plan to turn things around.”

One key insight was recognizing the practice’s evolution beyond chiropractic care. “We’re able to provide more services and help more people,” he says. “We were able to take some of our resources and some of our marketing to help target new clients instead of just focusing solely on chiropractic.”

With renewed clarity and strategic direction, Living Well Health Center rebounded stronger than ever. Dr. Takanen is now a vocal advocate for the FSBDC. “If I had to think of one word to describe the FSBDC, it would be ‘Helpful’,” he affirms. “They were helpful in so many ways to make our business not only recover from last year but for us to grow this year and have one of our best years on record.”

Protean BioDiagnostics

For any business, but especially for small businesses, growth requires investment. Typically, that investment requires access to capital. For Protean BioDiagnostics, a groundbreaking innovator in precision oncology and cancer diagnostics, and its President and CEO, Dr. Anthony Magliocco, additional funding was the key that would unlock significant opportunities presented by revolutionary treatment advances for patients with cancer. But where could he turn to for help obtaining additional capital? Dr. Magliocco found the answers he needed from the Florida Small Business Development Center at the University of Central Florida (FSBDC at UCF).

Protean BioDiagnostics provides cancer profiling, next generation diagnostics, and data integration services and solutions. The company has developed a platform technology called Protean MAPS® to help guide doctors and patients regarding how to optimally treat cancer. “Our technology includes advanced and unique tests for early detection of cancer,” Dr. Magliocco states proudly, “as well as a guidance system to help doctors pick the right tests. In addition, we manage all that information for our doctors and patients to enable them to make effective treatment decisions.”

With that as the backdrop, Dr. Magliocco was eager to expand his business. He connected with the Florida SBDC at UCF and took advantage of its technical services, including no-cost, expert business consulting, training, and access to market research and data. “I was quite delighted about the services and about how they could help us develop our business,” Dr. Magliocco recalls.

Given Protean and Dr. Magliocco’s specific needs, John Hickle, an FSBDC consultant specializing in access to capital engagements, stepped in to offer guidance. “I found working with John really valuable,” Dr. Magliocco explains, “because John had really long and deep experience in the capital field, not only with the FSBDC but with other organizations. He was well equipped to guide me about things like SBA loans, about other sources of capital, and also ones to try to avoid. In addition, there are government agencies that we would like to work with, like the Veterans Administration, and the SBDC supplied really invaluable help connecting to those groups.”

Supported by the FSBDC, Dr. Magliocco quickly achieved his primary objective: unlocking new funding. “We were successful in obtaining an SBA loan and we’re continuing to look to bring in additional loans,” Dr. Magliocco summarized. “It was a tremendous experience and extremely pleasant working with the FSBDC and actually very successful. We raised over $300,000 on very good terms working together with them, which will help with corporate growth and debt consolidation.

“If I had to use one word to describe the FSBDC, it would be ‘helpful’” concluded Dr. Magliocco. “They were there to guide me through and help me every step of the way. I would encourage others to reach out, explore for yourself, and see the incredible value that can be delivered by working with the FSBDC.”

Hounds Town Palm Coast – Bunnell

Launching a franchise can be a daunting challenge even for a successful and retired corporate executive. Jackie Rector, the now proud owner of Hounds Town Palm Coast – Bunnell, experienced this for herself and knew that she needed support to make her new dream a reality. That’s when she turned to the Florida Small Business Development Center at the University of Central Florida (FSBDC at UCF) in Palm Coast. As she looks forward to celebrating her new business’s one year anniversary, she is glad she did.

Hounds Town is a fully interactive doggy daycare, boarding, and pet spa facility. Designed like a town for dogs, it features expansive play areas, luxury overnight suites, and a pampering doggie day spa. “What makes Hounds Town special is that the dogs are not caged or crated,” shares Rector. “We pride ourselves in the care we give our dogs. We make sure, when they come to us, that they can play interactively in a natural pack environment with dogs of the same size, temperament, and play style. What that does is help to socialize the dogs and make them happy. And that’s what it’s all about: Doing it for the Dogs.”

Rector’s professional background brought significant advantage to her new venture. “As a retired corporate executive from a Fortune 200 company, I knew I had the foundation to be a business owner,” she explains. “But I knew I needed some support in terms of developing a business plan, getting funding. I couldn’t do that alone. So I found the Small Business Development Center in Palm Coast, and I was fortunate enough to get the support I needed and that’s why I am sitting here today. I couldn’t have done any of this without someone by my side coaching me.”

That someone was Michael Oppenheim, a consultant with the FSBDC at UCF. Rector worked closely with him, leveraging the FSBDC’s no-cost consulting services. “It started with a conversation. It was then a lot of discussion and brainstorming so I could evaluate my decision to make this investment and take this journey,” she recalls. “I needed to think about everything and especially things I hadn’t thought about. I met with Michael of the SBDC and we discussed it all, from start to finish, which was really good for me because I needed that.”

Oppenheim also helped Rector secure the capital she needed to launch her business. He guided her through preparing a loan package, identifying lenders, and facilitating the transaction. “A huge piece of working with the Small Business Development Center is obtaining funding,” Rector explains, “and I was able to get the funding I needed.”

Today, the FSBDC supports Rector with marketing strategy and financial management best practices. “Working with the SBDC is a no brainer,” she concludes. “I was really amazed and actually surprised that these resources are available to individuals looking to start their own business. And it doesn’t cost me anything. It is the way to go to make sure you have everything you need in your toolkit to be successful.”

GAVASHA, Inc.

Grisselle Supriana, founder of GAVASHA Inc., knows firsthand the challenges of launching and growing a small business. Even with a strong business model and boundless determination, navigating the early stages of entrepreneurship can be overwhelming. As many have found, it is hard to know exactly what to do first, where to go for help, how to make the right decisions, or even what the right decisions are.

That’s why Supriana turned to the Florida Small Business Development Center at the University of Central Florida (FSBDC at UCF). For her and her facilities management company, it was the right move at the right time. Becoming a client of the FSBDC—and taking advantage of their no-cost consulting and specialty programs—was the right first step, one that she’ll tell you has paid off for her handsomely.

Founded in 2012, GAVASHA Facilities Management Services provides commercial and residential cleaning, janitorial, maintenance, handyman, and landscaping services. The company prides itself on delivering high-quality service with a personal touch. “We are the perfect touch for all the spaces you trust,” Supriana explains. “Hiring GAVASHA takes the stress out. Our main goal is to make our clients’ life easier, and to ensure we bring beautification and calmness to our clients, and make their property into an oasis when they get home or into their office.”

Although GAVASHA quickly achieved early success, Supriana recognized the need for guidance as the business began to scale. “As we started really growing, I felt overwhelmed, and I found refuge in the FSBDC,” she recalls. “They actually oriented me and guided me through the growth process. It’s been a great help. Their services have been excellent for our company’s growth and also great for my peace of mind.”

Working with Rafael E.M. Pratts, area manager at the FSBDC’s Osceola County Office, Supriana received one-on-one consulting tailored to her business needs. She also joined the FSBDC’s Growth XChange, an executive roundtable program that brings together business owners to share insights, solve challenges, and support one another in a confidential setting.

“Being a business owner is very lonely at the top,” Supriana affirms. “With the Growth XChange, you have other business owners there and they can relate to what you’re going through. It’s a support system where we throw out ideas that will help the other business owners and yourself. We’re kind of a team in that sense, all looking to help each other.”

The results have been remarkable. “The changes we’ve seen since we started working with the FSBDC and Rafael’s consultation support has been that our business has grown about 400–500 percent,” Supriana says. “And it’s just getting better. I am so grateful and I’m seeing that the more time I am with the SBDC, using their programs and services, the more we are going to be able to grow and go further.”

Mecatos Bakery & Café

Finding broad industry experience and deep functional knowledge that can accelerate revenue growth in a small business is generally not easy, even for the most ambitious entrepreneurs and business owners. Edwin Lurduy, founder and CEO of Mecatos Bakery & Café, had built a successful company from a simple, family-owned business started in 2015 that shared his passion for Colombian food and culture with its diverse communities. Featuring Mecatos’ by-now renowned Colombian specialty coffee, delicious baked foods, hot bites, and desserts offered in a welcoming, relaxed, and modern setting, the company had grown to four stores in Central Florida by 2022.

Lurduy believed Mecatos Bakery & Café could be much more, however, and to achieve the growth he imagined possible, he sought fresh perspectives and deeper expertise. This led him to the Florida Small Business Development Center at the University of Central Florida (FSBDC at UCF) and its award-winning Advisory Board Council (ABC) program. Led by program manager Jill Kaufman, it offers small business owners the opportunity to work with a customized board of experts providing advice to help businesses grow – all at no cost. The FSBDC acts as a matchmaker between established local businesses like Mecatos and area professionals who volunteer their expertise and are purposefully selected to address the specific needs of the FSBDC client. Lurduy could not be happier with the results of his Advisory Board experience.

“The benefits we received from working with our Advisory Board, which was composed of people with decades of experience in marketing, legal, finance, and more, was incredibly valuable to a young organization such as ours” Lurduy recalls. “Every single idea or input they shared with us was important. They have lived this in much larger companies and it helped us to prevent or reduce mistakes and go in a better direction. It has meant significant changes at our stores and in our distribution center, some of the more critical ones being menu simplification, display and signage improvements, expansion of our catering operation, and help with sourcing and procurement of new products, how to look for them and how to negotiate them.”

Lurduy has long had aggressive expansion goals in mind for Mecatos and the ABC has helped him realize them. “We have received tools from the Advisory Board on how to reach those goals,” he continued, “all obtained from the Board based on their experience working with companies that have done this. From their feedback and advice, we have saved money, saved time, and made our operations more efficient. We have learned things that would have taken years and many resources to learn on our own.”

“During the term with our Advisory Board, they were crucial to our expansion plans,” Lurduy concluded. “While we were working with them, our organization grew from four to nine stores. Our revenues doubled. Our employee count doubled. Our distribution center expanded as far as labor and production. These are all numbers that were impacted in one way or another by the advice, help, and support of our Advisory Board Council.” And exactly the result he was looking for when he brought in its experience and expertise to help him.

Urban Perch Boutique Homes

It’s a hyper-competitive world out there for entrepreneurs and small business owners. They can have a great idea and love what they do but will always need to have focus and a competitive advantage to establish themselves in the marketplace and make their companies the successes they desire. Bianca and Eric Rey, the wife/husband team and co-founders and owners of residential home builder Urban Perch Boutique Homes, had launched their business and enjoyed some success, but soon found themselves at a fork in the road that brought questions about the next best steps to take in their entrepreneurial journey. Fortunately, they discovered the Advisory Board Council (ABC) program offered by the Florida Small Business Development Center at the University of Central Florida (FSBDC at UCF) and it has made all the difference.

Headquartered in Winter Park, FL, Urban Perch Boutique Homes is a design-build firm that specializes in helping clients to find land, design their dream home, and turn its customers’ wishes into reality through new construction. With the help of its Advisory Board Council, Urban Perch has recently repositioned itself and carved out a special niche in a crowded and demanding industry. “What makes us unique,” shares Eric, “is that we are a design-focused wellness builder focusing on clean air, clean water, and a healthy home for your family.”

Having such a clear direction and unique focus was not always the case. As Bianca recalls, “when we started our journey with our Advisory Board Council we were at a crossroads with our business, feeling a little bit lost, not sure how to grow, not sure if we even wanted to grow and continue with this industry. The board we worked with completely changed our business. Working with the Advisory Board Council has been incredible for us. We rant and rave to everyone we can about how impactful the Board has been to us.”

The FSBDC at UCF’s Advisory Board Council program is an award-winning economic development driver for small businesses. Directed by program manager Jill Kaufman, each advisory board is a customized, no-cost panel of experts providing advice and counsel to help businesses grow over a set, 18-month term. The FSBDC acts as a matchmaker between established local small businesses like Urban Perch and area professionals who volunteer their expertise as members of the advisory board, with each advisor purposefully selected to address the specific needs of the FSBDC client.

“Every meeting they provided us with very insightful viewpoints and were a great sounding board to help us get to where we are today,” remarked Eric. “When we started with the Advisory Board Council, we were not clear as to what our unique value proposition was. They convinced us we needed to identify what that was and helped us develop what ended up becoming our wellness brand focus which is very unique in our industry.”

That new wellness positioning has worked admirably for Urban Perch. “We’ve seen some great business results since working with the Advisory Board,” declares Bianca, “because we’ve been able to stay focused on what we truly do well and what we know. We have been able to elevate our product and what we offer and been able to price our homes a little higher.”

Growth has also included new team members to expand Urban Perch’s marketing and social media presence while also attracting two seasoned project managers who have helped keep projects on time and moving along. “On the revenue growth side,” Eric noted happily, “from right before we began with our Advisory Board to the time we finished, we will be about five time (5X) larger revenue wise than when we started.”

Eii

Selling to the expansive government market is a major opportunity for small businesses, one that is often overlooked. It is different in important ways, however, with a specific vocabulary and new and often unfamiliar processes, procedures and tools. In fact, it often requires training and guidance to enter the market, win contracts and be successful. For Janine Klein, CEO of Eii, a leadership and emotional intelligence training company, opportunities abounded in government contracting and she turned to the no-cost, expert consulting, business training and market research resources of the Florida APEX Accelerator at the University of Central Florida (Florida APEX at UCF) for the assistance she needed. Her payoff has been remarkable.

Eii provides a mental training gym that bridges the gap left by artificial intelligence (AI) with live, human-led interactions through advanced avatar technology. Using familiar platforms like Zoom, their solutions bring nuance, empathy, and adaptability to create authentic experiences tailored to their clients’ needs. “We work in a very niche space with a blend of AI and human interaction,” Klein states, “addressing emotional, trauma-based issues. We create customized scenarios with our clients and train our interactors to perform as avatars with their staff to practice real world difficult conversations in real time.”

Having successfully penetrated the private sector, Klein saw an unmet need for Eii’s services in the government, especially the military where hard conversations are the order of the day. To educate herself on how to enter that market, she contacted the Florida APEX at UCF, an affiliate of the Florida SBDC at UCF.

“Our journey with the APEX Accelerator has been instrumental for us in navigating government contracting,” recalls Klein. “Their expertise has helped us secure our Woman Owned Small Business (WOSB) certification and their continuous guidance in this ever-changing landscape of government contracting has been invaluable. We’ve benefited greatly from their seminars and workshops. They have helped us understand local contracting opportunities and having access to their market research and databases has been crucial in tracking requests for information and requests for proposals and to identify potential opportunities.”

“Personally, working with APEX has been great for me,” Kelin shared. “To find support when I’ve felt alone as a leader has contributed to my success as an owner and as a person.” She has also seen a lot of success on the business side. “The changes that have happened since working with APEX is our revenues have increased steadily these last four (4) years from $500,000 to $3.6 million. We started with one and have grown to 25 employees. We currently hold four (4) active government contracts with the help of APEX and are exploring loan opportunities as well,” Klein reports.

“I would highly recommend anyone to work with the APEX Accelerator, “ Klein concluded. “Their expert guidance, resources and support have been invaluable in navigating the challenges of government contracting and achieve business growth. Having experienced advisors and consultants who understand the industry and have offered tailored solutions is something that money really can’t buy. If you’re looking to grow, APEX is a game changer.”

For even the smartest and most motivated entrepreneurs, the breadth and depth of the daily challenges presented by a new business can undermine efforts to achieve the ultimate goal: profitable revenue growth. Working “in” the business, with little opportunity to work “on” it, and extinguishing those daily fires can distract a business owner from implementing proven processes, procedures, and methodologies that will contribute to building a successful company. Such was the case for Rodrigo Costa, CEO and founder of DeTask, an HR-focused information technology company dedicated to solving the universal problems of employee motivation and retention. Fortunately, Costa contacted the Florida Small Business Development Center at the University of Central Florida (FSBDC at UCF) and took advantage of its no-cost, expert consulting to gain new insights, set goals, and achieve new growth.

DeTask utilizes AI and immutable data to motivate employees, reduce turnover, and deliver measurable results – ultimately leading to growth and improved ROI. “The problem we are solving here is that 46% of Americans are leaving their jobs or not being appreciated,” Costa explains. “We created a gamification that helps a company achieve goals on time and keeps their people working happy and delivering.”

“Gamification is a way for us to reward people when they deliver things on time,” Costa continued. “They accumulate points for good work and can exchange those in the company’s marketplace for what motivates them. We also include recognition for their achievement so they can show to others their hard work inside the organization. Our unique value proposition is to look for what the company needs to achieve and what the employees need to feel rewarded. We combine both in one simple solution that allows you, the owner, to understand what’s happening in your company.”

So, where does the FSBDC fit in with DeTask’s growth plans? “Well, since I’m creating a very complex product, I need specialists to help me,” recounts Costa. “That’s why I went to the SBDC and was lucky to find Sharon Smith (an FSBDC at UCF Consultant) to work with me. She helped me with my marketing plan, my financial plan, and my business plan, and to put all the pieces together and start to move the market. We were creating a road map for what I should do next. The beautiful thing about that is…it’s free and you are talking with very high-quality specialists that are helping you develop your next steps.”

“After understanding more about my marketing plan, I was able to define and create a strategy to go to market,” Costa concluded. “Things started to happen after SBDC helped me with that part. We were getting pretty much one customer a month and we were increasing our revenue almost double the numbers every month since then.”

Rodrigo Costa is grateful for the SBDC’s assistance in charting a growth course for his company. “Since I started working with the SBDC, to every entrepreneur I meet I say ‘you must go there!’ because it’s going to help you a lot to understand where you are and what you have to do next. I recommend the FSBDC to everyone that I can.”
