Score Free Business Smarts
Perhaps you have heard of SCORE, Counselors to America’s Small Business, yet you are not clear about who might benefit or how SCORE works. SCORE is a non-profit resource arm of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). SCORE organizes the activities of more than 10.500 volunteers - largely retired business owners, executives and corporate leaders who have been where you want to go. SCORE has more than 389 chapter offices around the U.S. In addition, SCORE offers a wide range of free, online courses you can take to learn more about how to manage your business.
There is something to be said for learning from the experiences of others, and the value of cumulative learning. You can query experts by e-mail from SCORE’s front page, asking for specific tips and advice to help you succeed. And, give SCORE’s newsletter a try. Many people learn to depend on SCORE as a benevolent, silent partner that is always there when you need them.
