EPIC Translations' growth curve is best summed up by looking where the translation company has called home.
The Farmington Hills-based business started in Mostansar Virk's home as a part-time project focused on transcription while he worked on his full-time IT job five years ago. A few years later, Virk took the company full-time and moved to a one-room office in Novi. Today the firm has 1,200 square feet of office space for its six employees and an intern.
"For its first few years it was managed on a part-time basis," Virk says. "In June of 2008, I resigned from my IT job to run EPIC Translations."
EPIC Translations specializes in document translations, handling paperwork in the technical, legal and medical sectors, among others. The company's revenues are up 35 percent so far this last year, allowing it to hire one person. Virk plans to add one or two more jobs later this year.
