Are you prepared for your appointment?
Preparing for your appointment is optional, but if you do a little
beforehand it greatly
enhances the effectiveness of your
counseling session and
you maximize the counselors ability
to help you. You dont need to write anything, unless it
helps you. Review this
list of typical questions and be
prepared to discuss the answers.
Your counselor may ask you . .
What kind of guidance or assistance are you
looking for from SCORE?
In 50 words or less. What is your business
idea?
What products or services will you be providing?
What planning or market research activities
have you already done?
How did you (or will you) determine the
market need for your product or service?
Specifically, who are the customers for your
product or service?
Who are your competitors, and how are you
different?
From your customers
perspective, what benefits do you provide?
What education / business experience do you
have for this type of business?
Does your family and personal situation
support your effort?
Have you considered the start-up cost
required and potential sources for the money?
How much per hour do you propose to earn
from your business?
If you have any written cash
flow projections or preliminary
business plan material bring a couple of copies for us to
review. Well return it at the end
of the session.
