What the Counseling process is

In our counseling, SCORE counselors use a five-step Business Counseling Process. The steps are designed to build a relationship with you for a continuing dialogue over time. At our first meeting, we will both lay the groundwork for follow-on sessions to:


      • Assess your needs
      • Identify your new business goal idea, or:
      • Identify existing business challenges/opportunities
      • Identify the appropriate planning tools
      • Get your feedback on the process and the results so far
      • Continue the process

 

While the counseling process is a five-step process, this doesn’t necessarily translate into just five counseling sessions. In some cases, we will both do what is required in as many sessions as required to work through your business start-up or existing business challenges/opportunities.
