SCORE mentoring is a free, confidential service for anyone starting, running, or growing a U.S.-based small business. Work one-on-one or in a small group with an experienced business mentor who will listen to your goals, ask thoughtful questions, and share practical advice based on real-world experience.

You’ll be matched with a mentor based on your business needs and can meet virtually, by phone, email, or in person. Together, you’ll tackle specific challenges - from starting up and managing cash flow to hiring, marketing, or planning your exit - and create an action plan for your next steps. You can return to your mentor as often as you need, for the life of your business.
