Much too often, SCORE counselors get a new client sometime after the client’s business has encountered trouble.  Often, the problem is financial and has been going on for some time.  In reviewing the client’s situation, SCORE often finds that we could have helped the client if they had come to us six months ago before they had financial problems.

Your business is making money and you are paying all your bills on time. Your credit score is good. You don’t need any financial help from the bank, right?  Wrong!
