We are proud to be serving the Tri-State area through SCORE, the body who will help start businesses or help existing businesses in times of need. SCORE will guide a business through all of its start up needs. SCORE is comprised of knowledgable, experienced, business people, men and women, who are ready and willing to help all kinds of business ventures.
SCORE "Counselors to America's Small Business" is a non-profit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small businesses nationwide. SCORE is a more than 40 year old non-profit association founded in 1964 with over 10,500 volunteers who have more than 600 business skills and provide free business counseling and no or low-cost workshops to new and emerging small businesses. SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). SCORE has 389 chapters in locations throughout the United States and its territories. Both working and retired executives and business owners donate time and expertise as business counselors. In 2005, SCORE counselors volunteered over 1,000,000 hours in counseling and workshop services.
While most of SCORE's work has focused on small businesses, over the years it has assisted some start-up and emerging non-profit organizations, particularly on business issues. As a result of these experiences, SCORE stongly believes that to be effective, competitive and sustainable, non-profits must not only be caring and creative, they must run their operations as businesses.
