Free Counseling

Sacramento SCORE provides free and confidential business counseling tailored to meet the needs of your small business. Whether you are just starting a business or expanding an established business, SCORE counselors are here to help you succeed. 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.

For those clients who are not already in business, the first step to the counseling process is a free 2-1/2 hour Pre-Business Orientation seminar. This workshop is specifically designed to answer your questions about starting a business, to help you gain focus on your business idea, and discuss expectations of a business owner in preparation for your first meeting with a counselor. 

There is no charge for counseling, no matter how many sessions are needed. Each session will last about one hour. We will continue to be interested in your progress, so follow-up sessions are encouraged.
