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.
What we do matters.
Statistics show that aspiring or established entrepreneurs that work with SCORE mentors start businesses, create jobs and increase revenue. The work you will do at SCORE will make a measurable impact on the nation’s economy and - more importantly - someone’s life.
