Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE)

is a nationwide volunteer program sponsored by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) since 1964. SCORE provides training workshops and free management counseling to business owners and to those considering going into business. The program makes every effort to match a client's needs with a SCORE counselor or team skilled in a comparable line of business. The collective experience of these business executives and professionals spans the full range of American enterprise.
