Orlando’s InBusiness Inc. Hires Four New Employees and Expands into Larger Quarters at UCF Business Incubator - Orlando
ORLANDO - After the hiring of four new employees, Orlando’s InBusiness Inc. has expanded from one to two office suites at the University of Central Florida’s Business Incubator–Orlando on East Colonial Drive.
Founded last summer by CEO Rod Vargas, a seasoned engineer, author and business consultant, and David Wolf, a young business entrepreneur, InBusiness Inc. is an Orlando-based company that specializes in both business consulting and Internet marketing.
InBusiness joined the University of Central Florida’s Business Incubation Program last fall and has continued to grow ever since, according to Wolf.
“When we started, we knew there were a large number of companies that could not afford the expertise we posses in-house full time. Outsourcing these activities makes sense for both parties. We continually strive to improve our service to customers and our four new hires will only make that trend continue.”
While the firm’s growth spurt may surprise some, it’s what others, including the Orlando incubator’s site manager, have been preparing for.
“InBusiness started in a down-turned economy and yet they’re prospering like current big and strong founded companies, such as Disney, which also started in a similar period in the 1930s,” Interim Site Manager Henriette Schoen remarked. “Their accomplishments are a result of hard work, a huge talent pool, and especially having an ability to be very flexible in the adaptation of new business models for their business. This is one company that’ll be very interesting to watch grow, and the UCF Business Incubator-Orlando is supporting this fast-paced company as much as possible by accommodating its rapidly changing needs,” Schoen said.
Vargas – a professional engineer and an advisory board member of the Small Business Development Center at UCF and Valencia Community College – spent more than 17 years running Apex Environmental Engineering in Orlando and O’Brien & Gere Engineers in Cape Canaveral.
Florida’s Small Business Administration named him Man of the Year in 2007. He currently is an adjunct professor at the Orlando campus of the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico, a member of the Technical Assistance Committee for the Hispanic Business Initiative Fund, and chairman of the Disney Entrepreneur Center 100 Club.
Wolf – who serves as InBusiness Inc.’s vice president of marketing strategies – has business and finance degrees from Valencia Community College and the University of Central Florida, respectively. He was the leader of the winning team of the prestigious Capstone Competition at UCF and routinely placed in the top three for entrepreneurial competitions during his academics.
Wolf has consulted over 50 companies on how to better utilize their companies intellectual property and assets to achieve business growth. He gives marketing seminars regularly which focus on the topic of online marketing for businesses that generate under 20 million in revenue annually.
