Santa Cruz SCORE wants you to succeed. In addition to free on-on-one counseling, we offer low-cost workshops and seminars. Contact Us to make a reservation or fill out our Attend a Workshop online form. 

The How to Start a Business in Santa Cruz County Workshop is intended to help new and early-stage businesses get off to the right start by studying the legal requirements of starting a business, and covering subjects that will impact the success or failure of that business. Subjects covered in the workshop include business plan development, market analysis, record keeping and financial analysis. Workshops are scheduled for the first Thursday of each month starting at 6:00PM and ending at 8:30PM. There is a $30 fee per each attendee.  Workshops are held at the Capitola Chamber of Commerce at 716-G Capitola Ave. unless otherwise noted.
