Fulfill Your Dream with Help from SCORE


“When it was time to improve my business model, I contacted SCORE. I was coached on how to better define my service, improve my website, and prepare for future growth. The suggestions proved to be an invaluable resource to move my business forward.”
– Christine Miller, Principal, Miller Sales Consulting

“SCORE was a wonderful source of advice and encouragement when I was starting my business. My counselor knew exactly the steps I needed to take, helped me put together my business plan, and always encouraged me, even when it seemed impossible that my business would get off the ground.”
—Demeny Pollitt, Owner, Girlington Garage
