Small Business Counseling

 

SCORE’s unpaid volunteers share their business experience and provide “free” business counseling to anyone who is operating a small business or thinking about starting one. The SCORE Association (Service Corps of Retired Executives) is a national non-profit association composed of retired and semi-retired executives and business owners.

 

There is no charge for our services and all information is confidential.
