SCORE is a national, non-profit organization with over 11,000 members which began in 1964. We are a group of working and retired business executives who donate our time assisting people in the U.S. in starting-up new businesses or providing business counseling for existing businesses.

The Manasota Chapter of SCORE has about 50  volunteer consultants locally to assist you by mentoring on a wide range of business issues.  

We provide FREE COUNSELING at a number of locations in Manatee and Sarasota Counties, select the Request Counseling option on the left to initiate your request.  Once submitted, it will be reviewed and a volunteer counselor will contact you in a few business days - the more information you provide, the better we will be able to assign a knowledgeable counselor!

We also provide a number of FREE WORKSHOPS during the year on topics such as Starting Up, Business Planning, Financing, Marketing and Managing and Growing your business.  Select the Workshop option on the left to review our current schedule and enrollment options.
