Rozalynn Goodwin, the mother of nine-year-old Gabrielle Goodwin, turned to SCORE for help when she needed advice on how to secure financing and find a manufacturer for their product GaBBY Bows, a double-sided barrette that doesn't slip out of hair. Goodwin used SCORE templates to build a business plan and financial projections that were critical in making it one of the 15 national finalists for the 2015 U.S. Small Business Administration InnovateHER Competition, and GaBBY Bows has since doubled unit sales each year, earning recognition as a 2016 American Small Business Champion and Outstanding Diverse Business at the 2016 SCORE Awards.
