About SCORE 

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 11,500 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 such as Kodak, Xerox or Boeing. 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.
