Brian Mykytiuk, a seasoned diver and longtime boating enthusiast, started Neptune Dive Service in 2016. Mykytiuk helps keep yachts spotless by diving under docked boats and doing cleaning and general maintenance underwater.
How SCORE helped: Mykytiuk sought mentoring from SCORE to make his startup a success. "We needed some professional guidance on what steps to take in opening a business from the ground up," he says. "[My SCORE mentor] Robert helped to map out which steps to take and at what point in the process."
Since launching his business in 2016, Mykytiuk has added services, increased revenue month after month, and hired his first employee.
