SCORE® Mentoring Services
SCORE® volunteers provide free and confidential business management mentoring to small business owners and those who are considering the start of a new business.
Requesting Mentoring:
To arrange for counseling, the first step is to go to the Chapter 390 Client Logon page where you will need to register with us and then fill out and submit the online Counseling Request form. CLICK HERE to Logon and follow the instructions on how to proceed. [NOTE: When you get to the online form, we ask that you ALWAYS use the block entitled “If you chose Other in the above drop down, please describe specific assistance requested” to tell us more about your situation (e.g., Specific Type of Business; Where you are in planning process; or specific problem or issue you’d like to discuss.)] Once you have submitted a Counseling Request, a counselor will be assigned. The assigned counselor will contact you to meet with you at a time that is mutually agreeable. NOTE: If you've previously been counseled by our SCORE chapter and you can no longer reach your counselor for a desired follow-up session, please E-mail us with the particulars so that we can reassign you to a new counselor or otherwise resolve the situation without delay.
