What is SCORE?

SCORE is the nation’s largest network of volunteer, expert business mentors, with more than 10,000 volunteers in 300 chapters.

As a resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), SCORE has helped more than 10 million entrepreneurs through mentoring, workshops and educational resources since 1964.

Find Your Mentor

Mentoring Works!

Small business owners who receive three or more hours of mentoring report higher revenues and increased growth. Our mentors are available as many times as you need, either in person, via email or over video chat. And you can work with as many mentors as necessary. SCORE is here for you.

Get Started in Five Steps:

  1. Identify your business question.
  2. Search for a mentor, or let your local chapter pair you with a mentor.
  3. Submit a mentoring request to share your business question(s) with an expert.
  4. Start working on your business goals with help from your mentor.
  5. Continue working with your mentor throughout the life of your business.
