Free Business Counseling

Score offers two types of free and confidential counseling designed to help you get started in business, develop a business idea or improve your existing business


Face-to-Face Counseling

The Merrimack Valley chapter of SCORE offers confidential face-to-face counseling at no charge.

The Chapter has over 60 counselors with a variety of skill sets and we offer this counseling in several Southern New Hampshire locations.

All of our counselors can guide you on how to get your business off to a good start with the best odds for success or discuss the viability of an idea that you have. We also have counselors with experience in many different industries who can help you solve a problem with an existing business.

Most counseling sessions are conducted at one of our locations, however on-site counseling is available when a more complete evaluation of an ongoing business is needed.

You will be contacted by a counselor to make a date to meet at one of our offices or a mutually convenient meeting place.

Request a face-to-face counseling session by clicking here. Or if easier, call and request you be put on our list. Cases are assigned to counselors on Friday mornings and typically you are called the following Monday.  

Email Counseling

The SCORE National website offers counseling by email. SCORE business counselors provide answers to your business questions within 48 hours by email. Counselors are listed by area of expertise and geographic location.
