Business Owner
You can choose from three ways to get started with SCORE:
1.Schedule a free (and confidential) counseling session with our counselors
2.Participate in our free Score Your Business program
3.Attend one or more of our workshops and seminars on business topics
Counseling During your initial one hour session you can review any of your business issues with us. All of our discussions are completely confidential, and you may return as often as you like.
Score your Business This free program will help you to understand your business score, and develop a program to help you to make any improvements you may need. Our experienced counselors will visit your place of business and work with you to understand your situation – for example, we can compare your results with industry averages for your business type. First, take our quick quiz and check the “I would like an appointment” box. We’ll be in touch.
Workshops and Seminars We have many low-cost workshops available on many subjects for small business – Marketing, QuickBooks, Writing a Business Plan. For a full schedule and to register, visit our Workshop Schedule. For either of the above options, you may call (916) 629-4249 and speak to one of our counselors who can assist you in making the best selection. In San Joaquin County, please call (209) 946-6293.
