“The SCORE representatives were very informative and helped us develop our business ideas for future success. They had a wide range of knowledge and were easy to communicate our ideas to.”

“The SCORE Counselors are very encouraging and extremely knowledgeable. The information was invaluable. We were given a step-by-step plan of action, which included things we never even considered. I would recommend SCORE to anyone who is considering starting a business.”
