Free Counseling
Whether you are just starting a business or expanding a business or non-profit organization, SCORE counselors are here to help you succeed. Contact Us to set-up an appointment to meet with a business counselor to develop your business plan, discuss a new idea or tackle a business problem.  Or, if you prefer, utilize email counseling  for a quick response to a more specific question.

Our chapter does not have regular office hours, but you may call at any time, leave a message, and we will get back to you. Please schedule an appointment in advance if you have a preferred time. If appropriate, special meeting places and times can be set by mutual agreement with the individual counselor. To learn more about our team of business and organizational counselors, visit Meet Our Volunteers.

There is no charge for business counseling, no matter how many sessions are needed. Each session will last about one hour. A handy checklist to review in preparation for your counseling can be found by clicking here to obtain a copy [PDF] .

We will continue to be interested in your progress, so follow-up sessions are encouraged. Counseling is available to all U.S. citizens over the age of 13.

Counseling for non-profits will be adapted to individual circumstances. Counseling is free, but in some circumstances, a small administrative charge may apply.
