What is SCORE?
SCORE, a nonprofit organization, is dedicated to helping small businesses get off the ground, grow and achieve their goals through education and mentorship. Because their work is supported by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), and thanks to their network of 10,000 volunteers, SCORE is able to deliver services at no charge or at very low cost.
SCORE provides:
- Volunteer MENTORS who share their expertise across 62 industries
- Free, confidential business MENTORING in person, via email or by video
- Free business TOOLS, templates and tips online
- Inexpensive or free business WORKSHOPS (locally) and webinars (online 24/7)
