counseling sessions are offered by SCORE. These counseling sessions are
typically scheduled during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, except
holidays. Contact our office for an
appointment today. Time slots fill quickly,
so early scheduling is recommended.
Generally,
the initial counseling session will last about 1 hour. As your plans develop,
we continue to be interested in helping you achieve your business goals, so
follow-up sessions are encouraged.
Again, there is no charge, no matter how many follow-up sessions are
needed. In addition to counseling at our office, counseling can be arranged for
your convenience at other mutually agreeable times and locations, such as at
local libraries.
SCORE
provides workshops and seminars on various business topics for only nominal
charges.
For
internet users, on-line counseling is available. Nationwide, SCORE has more than 500 members
who counsel on-line in their areas of expertise. They can be contacted at www.score.org.
A response to your query is usually provided within 48 hours. While
face-to-face counseling is recommended for most situations, on-line counseling
can provide another source of business expertise to you.
We
provide “Favorite Links” as a service to our
clients. Most of the links are pertinent
