Even if you received a PPP loan, you may be eligible for Employee Retention Credits (ERC). A qualified CPA will be able to evaluate your business and determine if you are able to apply. If you have not done so, be sure to find out, as the potential income may help your business survive.
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.
