Join SCORE Corpus Christi, the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Del Mar Small Business Development Center for the Second Annual Encore Entrepreneur Mentor Day, targeted at entrepreneurs over the age of 50 to match these “encore entrepreneurs” with successful business owners and community leaders for advice and assistance.

National Encore Entrepreneur Mentor Day is part of a larger effort by SBA to promote entrepreneurship among individuals ages 50 and older. With one in four individuals ages 44 to 70 interested in becoming entrepreneurs, and 63 percent of Americans planning to work during retirement, small business ownership is a good option.  Small business owners with long-term counselors see bigger sales, hire more workers and last longer.  SBA and SCORE will provide the training and mentoring services older entrepreneurs need to successfully start and grow businesses and create jobs.
