Entrepreneurs Succeed with SCORE Mentors
What is better than one very passionate, forward-thinking entrepreneur working to make a business highly successful? How about two very passionate, forward-thinking entrepreneurs working on your business ownership goals? That is what SCORE offers to all small business owners: mentors who work alongside entrepreneurs to realize their small business ownership dreams.
See how SCORE mentors have made a difference for other small business owners like you.
Built from scratch while fulfilling a dream, this business grew by force of will and by acquiring a struggling company. During a promising growth phase, it was struck by a "500-year flood" disaster in 2008 which destroyed it. Shortly thereafter, the nation's economy collapsed. Through sheer hard work and determination, the owners undertook the business's recovery nearly alone and are bringing their business back. A true American success story made possible with SCORE's help.
The American Dream, to own your own business, is many times almost forced upon us.
