“Knowing there is an experienced person available to discuss any issues and review ideas is a great confidence booster. To have free access to a network of expertise and information at a critical point in the development of a new venture is incredibly valuable. SCORE should be a first call for any entrepreneur looking to start or expand a business.”
Some people are repeat customers for newer businesses

“The SCORE people gave me the courage to make decisions. They are high quality, experienced individuals eager to share what they know. You couldn’t pay for that knowledge, yet the most amazing thing of all is that it’s free.”
Craft products need good business planning too!
