Success Stories
Welcome to Central Minnesota SCORE -

 

The Central Minnesota Chapter of SCORE “Counselors to America’s Small Business” is part of a national nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of the nation’s small business.

SCORE provides free and confidential business counseling tailored to meet the needs of your small business and your personal objectives. SCORE also offers workshops, for a modest fee, for both start-up entrepreneurs and in-business small business owners.

I would like to emphasize that SCORE assists people in starting a new business and by providing counseling to existing small and mid-sized business owners.

SCORE volunteers are real-world professionals with time-tested knowledge who donate thousands of hours to help small businesses succeed. Counselors are experts in such areas as accounting, finance, operations, marketing, management and business plan preparation.

SCORE Chapter #468 is comprised of more than 50 volunteers that provide guidance and counseling to entrepreneurs in the St. Cloud, Alexandria, Detroit Lakes, Park Rapids, and the Brainerd Lakes area.

Assistance is available in many ways:

We look forward to serving you.
