SCORE: 60 Years of Small Business Success
Helping 17 Million Entrepreneurs achieve their dreams
SCORE proudly celebrates 60 years of helping America’s small businesses launch, grow and thrive. Since 1964, more than 17 million entrepreneurs have received support from SCORE, a resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
Today, SCORE has a nationwide network of more than 10,000 volunteers serving all 50 U.S. states and territories, guiding entrepreneurs on their path to success.
Starting in 2024 newly formed, corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), limited partnerships, and other entities that file formation papers with a state’s Secretary of State’s office (or similar government agency) must file a report with the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) providing specified information regarding the entity’s “beneficial owners.”
If you claimed and received the Employee Retention Credit (ERC), but you are ineligible and need to repay the ERC, this page will help you figure out if you can apply for the Employee Retention Credit Voluntary Disclosure Program (ERC-VDP) and how to do that.
Become a Volunteer
Since 1964, SCORE has educated and mentored more than 17 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.
Join us in this hands-on workshop in which you will first write your “Unique Value Statement” that concisely describes your product or service and its value. Using the “Lean Canvas,” you will write a draft one-page business plan – all in three hours!
Ready to turn your vision into reality? Join us for a practical workshop that offers step-by-step guidance on establishing a nonprofit public charity. Ideal for those who have already decided to form a nonprofit.
