SCORE
assists
SCORE, a non-profit association,
is comprised of retired executive
and active executive and offers free
business counseling.
SCORE volunteers are retired
men and women who have had
successful business careers as com-
pany executives or owners of their
own businesses. They are willing to
share their knowledge and experi-
ence to help a person run his or her
own business successfully or to start
up a new business.
SCORE, which was started in
1964, now has more than 11,000
counselor volunteers and is spon-
sored by the United States Small
Business Administration.
It is important to organize and
manage all the special skills of a
business in a way that will make a
company operate successfully and
SCORE counselors have this man-
agement ability.
Nationally, SCORE has helped
thousands of small businesses iron
out their problems. There are more
than 11,000 members scattered in
the 50 states plus Puerto Rico,
Guam, the Virgin Islands, and the
District of Columbia.
Since SCORE is a non-profit orga-
nization, it exists to provide free
information and advice on practi-
cally every conceivable business.
From ladies’ ready-to-wear retail-
ing to food service and restaurants,
construction, electronics, computer
technology - from advertising and
marketing to financial control, pur-
chasing, etc.
The counselor chosen to service
you has the experience that most
closely parallels your needs. But no
one is an expert in every type of
business so your SCORE counselor
may call on other SCORE members
for their special expertise.
Your counselor or the team meets
with yoiu personally and as fre-
quently as necessary. They analyze
and define your problems and rec-
ommend solutions. They keep
checking with you to see how the
recommendations are working. The
period of counseling may take as
little as a week or a year or more -
whatever length of time is required.
All the information that SCORE
volunteers learn about your busi-
ness is treated as strictly confiden-
tial and is not revealed to anyone
outside of SCORE.
You are welcome to attend any of
the seminars. and workshops which
SCORE ‘conducts peridocially.
These cover the major considera-
tions for setting up or running a
business. Speakers are SCORE
members and prominent local busi-
ness executives.
To learn how you can become a
client of SCORE and get personal
counseling for your business, tele-
phone or stop in at the SCORE
office nearest you.
The Wilkes-Barre SCORE Chapter
361 is located in Penn Place, Room
2327, 20 Pennsylvania Ave., Wilkes-
Barre, Pa., 18702. You can reach the
