We provide free and confidential one-on-one business counseling by phone, email, and in-person in Central California. We also conduct workshops for both start-up entrepreneurs and seasoned small business owners.
There will be 10 winners and a $30,000 grand prize. Plus, one U.S. veteran winnow of the 10 grand prize winners will get an ADDITIONAL $20K from USAA Small Business Insurance.
We believe that anyone can start and manage a successful small business. We also know that the road is harder for some than for others. Diverse backgrounds, different voices, and unique needs may call for specialized resources and mentoring approaches.
SCORE is listening, recognizes these diverse needs, and provides personalized support in a wholly-inclusive platform called SCORE for All.
Since 1964, SCORE has educated and mentored more than 11 million small business owners and entrepreneurs. We're looking for people with diverse backgrounds and experiences to serve in a variety of roles — from knowledgeable business mentors to local community advocates.
In this session, you learn about: the advantages and disadvantages of owning a business, the most profitable form for your business, and the fundamentals of formation, organization, marketing, cash flow and funding sources.
