WHAT IS SCORE?
Free Counseling and Mentoring to Start Your Own Agency: Whether you are just starting a business or expanding an established business, SCORE counselors are here to help you succeed. Sign up for an appointment to meet with a business counselor to develop your business plan, discuss a new idea or tackle a business problem. There is no charge for counseling, no matter how many sessions are needed.

SCORE, the nation’s largest network of volunteer, expert business mentors, is dedicated to helping small businesses get off the ground, grow and achieve their goals. Since 1964, we have provided education and mentorship to more than 11 million entrepreneurs. SCORE is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and a resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Thanks to this generous support from the SBA and because of the selfless contributions of our more than 10,000 dedicated volunteers, we are able to deliver most of our offerings at no cost.
