SCORE Grand Strand and Pee Dee helped Lauren Clever in starting her new business, Casa Di Clever, by providing her with a vast amount of information and expertise. With the assistance of SCORE, Lauren was able to make the right decisions and gain the confidence to become a successful small business owner, launching her business, The Bougie Foodie, on October 6th.


The seminar will include a panel and Q&A with local women business owners as well as information from local resource partners that provide assistance to help start or grow your small business.

We believe that anyone can start a small business with the right support. We also know that the path to success may vary based on where you are in your business journey.
SCORE is here to help with curated resources for all entrepreneurs.
