Demetrio came into the Angelo State University SBDC as an employee of Angelo Radiator, who was then owned by the original owners. As Demetrio learned the skills related to his position of being a radiator technician, he established a meaningful relationship with the owners and had intentional conversations about the future of the business. Demetrio and his family joined forces and met with the SBDC to develop a plan of action to purchase the locally renowned business.
With the SBDC’s support, they crafted a comprehensive business plan, including three years of financial projections. The SBDC team also helped them identify a financial institution that aligned with their goals. Throughout the process, the SBDC provided continuous communication and reassurance, helping the family confidently navigate challenges. Within a year, the Rios family proudly became the new owners of Angelo Radiator Specialties. With the support of the SBDC, Demetrio and his family work together to ensure the continued growth and success of their family-owned and operated business.
“SBDC team was a great help planning and advising for our business success, best guidance we could have gotten.”
