About Us
Our company began in 2006 from an idea a few friends in college had been working on. As some of the founding members of the company moved on to bigger opportunities in other states, the company was forced into making a decision: evolve or shut down. Eventually one founding member decided to take the lead and restructure the company into what it is now. Vitela Business Services was formed from the remains of the original company. This new company, headed by Maria Lucila Hernandez, represents the ideals and dreams that helped bring together friends and allowed them to follow their dreams.
Vitela Business Services is now celebrating a decade of helping individuals and small businesses achieve their financial goals and dreams. The company continues to grow by continually expanding their loyal customer base. Through hard work, dedication, absolute honesty, and honestly caring about the customers' business, Vitela Business Services has become a company that has earned the absolute trust and loyalty of its customers.
Vitela Business Services is always looking towards the future. The company is always looking at new technology and attaining the most current training in order to provide its customers with the best, and most up to date, services. In a never-ending quest to provide a full suite of business services, Vitela Business Services is continually expanding to offer the most requested services that individuals and small businesses request. As our company grows into the future, we hope that your company will grow alongside ours.
