My mentor is Jim at SCORE. Jim answered all my questions and I felt his sincere care towards my needs and he is very professional and polite. Jim is very calm and mellow and he spent almost an hour on our first session. This is just the beginning and I am very impressed and pleased with his service. I look forward meeting him again.

I contacted SCORE to get guidance and suggestions from a mentor for starting out my small business. I filled in the questionnaire online and was matched with an experienced mentor the next day. Based on my questions, my mentor Larry T, provided valuable feedback to improve my target audience. I highly recommend him and using SCORE!

The team at SCORE probably saved my business. Overwhelmed, lost, and new to the startup world, I knew I needed trustworthy and high-quality resources, or my project might never come to fruition.

At the onset, SCORE came through for me in a big way and introduced me to more than one volunteer with vast experience and impeccable credentials. Specifically, they were instrumental in helping me better develop my business methods, organization skills, and time management practices. The reduction in stress alone is well worth the time. Other volunteers were there to bounce ideas off of and help me gain new creative perspectives.

With SCORE, consulting sessions were confidential and also included special protections. My experience was that confidentiality was not generally something typical consulting providers could offer. It was a huge relief not to worry and to openly share and gain feedback on my most important projects.

I recommend any struggling business owner give SCORE a try. It was an excellent use of time.

My mentor has been a great resource as I'm getting started with opening a small business. He has been very responsive and has answered all of my questions thoroughly, either with his own knowledge or pointing me to relevant links if he doesn't know the exact answer.

I am starting out as an aspiring business owner and SCORE has been a fantastic resource as I am in the designing stages of my new business. I am having weekly sessions with my mentor to brainstorm, discuss challenges and get feedback. Russell, my mentor, brings in a wealth of knowledge about technology, business, training and skills needed. I feel he genuinely cares about my success, and leave our meetings filled with energy and confidence. And all the SCORE services are free, so this resource is accessible to everyone. Truly wonderful!
