Counseling El Paso's new business and mentoring for business growth. SCORE is a non-profit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth, and success of small business nationwide.
MT Needles Embroidery, founded by siblings Tracey and Michael Benson, moved from a garage to a commercial storefront in 2015 and experienced over 200 percent growth for the year. The Bensons utilized SCORE's mentoring services to follow proper steps in starting their business, and attending the Imprinted Sportswear Show helped them understand the need to expand their services, allowing them to invest in equipment and conserve working capital.
