║SCORE Provides FREE Expert Business-Management Counseling║
╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Since 1964, SCORE, the Service Corps of Retired Executives
Association, has provided retired professional managers from all
disciplines to provide management assistance to the current
generation of small-business owners. SCORE has nearly 800 offices
nationwide and 13,000 volunteer SCORE counselors to provide you
assistance. And it's all free to the client. SCORE is sponsored
by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
It may sound too good to be true, but each year, over 150,000
people come to SCORE to get help with their business planning,
whether it be in starting up a business or keeping it operating
profitably. After determining your needs, a SCORE counselor with
a similar background will be assigned to you. For example, if you
need help in setting up a ready-to-wear store, a counselor with
retail experience--most likely from ready-to-wear--will be your
counselor. In this way, your counselor knows the territory you
are about to chart. He or she is able to help divert you from
some of the problems that may impede your success and help you
plan for proper business development. He or she will be able to
help with relevant things such as how to deal with manufacturers,
getting proper types and levels of credit, etc. And since no one
person can be all things, your counselor may call in other
counselors with expertise from fields such as accounting,
marketing, finance, and so forth. You can meet with your
counselor(s) as often as you like. Many SCORE clients touch base
for years just to get an independent perspective from someone
they trust.
Since 1964, over 2.5 million business people have sought the
assistance of SCORE's seasoned professional managers--managers
that have 30 or 40 years of experience and have seen the
roadblocks and surpassed them. Their experience is invaluable.
There's a SCORE Chapter office near you where you can tap into
this rich lode of experience. The service is free, the advice is
priceless!
To contact your nearest SCORE Office, check the SCORE Chapter
Directory--selection number 3 on the previous menu. Also, if
you're interested in specialized workshops, consult selection
number 2 on the previous menu.
