I have been a SCORE Small Business Mentor for over 11 years. During this period I have assisted a wide variety of both start up and existing small business clients. I have assisted a majority of these clients in developing a solid business plan that all lenders require as part of the business loan application. Clients have been helped in starting new businesses, financing needed to expand existing businesses, purchases of franchise businesses, as well as preparing a business to sell. I also have worked with start up and existing non profits.
