ON SITE VISITATION
SCORE counselors are prepared to visit business owners at their workplace. Be assured that all SCORE counselors honor the client's right to proprietary and confidential information. Each counselor must commit on an annual basis the Association Code of Ethics which includes protecting the confidence between client and counselor.

e-MAIL COUNSELING
The National SCORE Association has registered over 1,000 of its members as "cyber-counselors". Just click on the link
Ask SCORE for Business Advicewhere you will send your business questions to a SCORE counselor who will then promptly reply. You may keep the dialog going for as long as you have questions for your business cyber-counselor.
As an alternative you may go to the locator for SCORE in Maine, and link to the chapter of your choice then send an e-mail message to your local chapter.
OUR RESOURCES
The most important resource that SCORE has to offer is the sharing of the experience of our counselors. Both working and retired executives and business owners donate their time and expertise as business counselors. Local chapters provide free counseling and low-cost workshops in their communities. In addition our page entitled Resource Material contains links to hundreds of sites that provide business information and advice for business owners and for those wishing to start a business.
