SCORE Grand Forks volunteers are experienced entrepreneurs, corporate managers, and executives with a diverse set of industries and specialties who volunteer their experience and knowledge to help small business professionals start, develop, and grow businesses. We offer free business advice, low-cost or no-cost business training, and numerous templates and tools.
We are meeting with clients and meet with many via Zoom. We also meet with clients over the phone and by email. We have just added back face-to-face meetings with some changes to address the Coronavirus (COVID-19). We will use our regular meeting rooms with only a client and a mentor present, but we can add additional people to the meeting via Zoom. Please contact us to arrange a Thursday meeting (9 am - 3 pm) and we can determine how to meet.
To request a mentor click here, call the SCORE Grand Forks office at (701) 746-5851, or email score@gra.midco.net.

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.
Your “solopreneur” business has taken off, and you’ve achieved your dream of being your own boss. Congratulations!
But now, are you ready to be someone else’s boss? Most self-employed entrepreneurs reach a point when, even with the help of freelancers or outside contractors, they have more business than they can handle. At this stage,
the only way to keep growing—and growing more profitable—is to hire employees.
Presented by - Ken Myers and Steve Moser from SCORE.
Running a business can be overwhelming, but knowing where to focus your marketing efforts is the key! This session will answer your pressing questions like: What's the right way to kickstart my marketing? How much should I invest in getting it off the ground? And most importantly - how do I keep the momentum going long-term in a sustainable way?
