| Small business ownership makes
entrepreneurial dreams a reality; transforms individual lives; builds
financial wealth; shapes futures; increases commerce in our communities;
and is the engine behind the health and growth of the nation's economy.
The SCORE Association, headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a
nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneurial education and the
formation, growth and success of small businesses nationwide. Our public
service mission is to help more entrepreneurs become successful small
business owners through face-to-face and email business counseling.
SCORE is composed of 10,500 volunteer business mentors, both working
and retired, who counsel businesses from 389 chapter offices throughout
the country. SCORE volunteers hail from every facet of the business
community. Some have worked at large corporations. Some have served in
our military or worked for the local or federal government. Others have
spent years cultivating their own small business.
Last year, SCORE helped expand small business opportunities through
assistance to more than 400,000 Americans.
