Our chapter provides free and confidential business counseling tailored to meet the needs of your small business and your personal objectives. We also offer a series of workshops (some are free of charge, and some require a modest fee) for both start-up entrepreneurs and in-business small business owners.
Our chapter also partners with Chambers and Educational institutions to provide a series of seminar programs on a wide variety of business-related topics.
SCORE volunteers are real-world professionals with time-tested knowledge who donate thousands of hours to help small businesses succeed. Counselors are experts in such areas as accounting, finance, marketing, management, and business plan preparation.
Depending on what is convenient for you, our 30 SCORE counselors are available to meet with you via telephone, E-mail, or SKYPE if you cannot come to either Gainesville or Lake City.
