Electrojet Inc. Celebrates “Michigan 50 Companies to Watch”
In 2003 Kyle Schwulst, CEO founded Electrojet after developing several patents for the development of new electronic fuel injection (EFI) solutions that provide emissions reduction, regulatory compliance and fuel efficiency for small engine including motorcycles, scooters, and lawn mowers. Through business plan development, markets were identified in China where they manufacture 30 million motorcycles per year and in India. Kyle’s success is a great example of collaboration of the SBTDC Tech Consultants, the Livingston County SBTDC, MEDC, Automation Alley, Spark, and MGCS. The tech team and business consultants from the MI-SBTDC network contributed over 400 hours of consulting. The Livingston SBTDC contributed in the areas of business planning, publicity, human resources, location, potential local investors, and referrals to the accountant network. Electrojet currently employs 7 and expects to be at 14 by the end of 2009.

The Fowlerville Medical Clinic opened in April 2003 and was formerly operated by St. Joseph Health Systems. Dr. Norine Tracy, MD and owner of the clinic, worked with the Livingston County MI-SBTDC to arrange a buyout of the practice.
SBTDC assisted Dr. Tracy in obtaining a $150,000 7a loan from National City and also made arrangements for a $15,000 revolving loan fund distribution from the DDA. In addition, the MI-SBTDC assisted the Clinic with obtaining a provider number, the compilation of a business plan, staffing needs, and services expansions.
Prior to the buyout, the clinic had 10 employees and currently employs 17. Sales peaked in 2003, allowing the Clinic to offer a 401k plan as well as short- and long-term disability benefits to employees.
