SCORE is the nation’s largest network of volunteer, expert business mentors, with more than 7,000 volunteers serving all 50 U.S. states and territories. Since its founding in 1964 as a resource partner for the U.S. Small Business Administration, SCORE has helped more than 20 million entrepreneurs start, grow or successfully exit a business through mentoring, resources and education.
SCORE provides a wide range of services to established and budding business owners alike, including:
Mentoring:
Entrepreneurs can access free, confidential business mentoring in person at local chapters and partner locations or remotely via email, phone and video. SCORE mentors are experts in entrepreneurship and related fields who meet with their small business clients on an ongoing basis to provide continued advice and support.
Webinars and Courses on Demand:
SCORE regularly offers free online workshops on topics ranging from startup strategies to marketing and finance. Attendees can watch webinars live, or view recordings online on their own time. We also offer interactive courses on-demand, so you can walk through each module at your own pace.
Library of online resources:
Business owners can also benefit from SCORE’s extensive collection of guides, templates, checklists, blogs, videos, infographics, and more. We strive to provide the most relevant and current educational content to help small business owners and entrepreneurs succeed.
Local events:
Many local SCORE chapters hold free or low-cost in-person workshops and roundtable discussions covering a range of topics.
Thinking about starting a business? Looking for a new business opportunity?
FranNet provides education and support to individuals who are interested in exploring self employment as a career option through franchised business ownership.
Our role is to provide education on the franchise industry and help you find the right franchise for you and your goals. Our services are 100% free through our entire process.
