Free Business Counseling
SCORE offers free business advice by telephone, email or through face to
face counseling sessions. Set up an appointment for free
SCORE business advice
by filling our business counseling request form. For face to face
counseling sessions, we can meet you at one of our local offices or at
your place of business. We have offices located on Hilton Head Island,
in Bluffton and in Beaufort.
Business Seminars and Roundtables
Periodically, we offer
SCORE business seminars
on topics ranging from starting a business to selling a business. Our
seminars are available for a small fee, which covers the cost of
producing that seminar.
One of our newest seminars is our "Quick Start" business seminar series.
These seminars help you figure out if a business idea can be turned into
a profitable business. This is a quick and inexpensive way to determine
if you want to invest in starting that business.
Join other business owners from the South SC Lowcountry for a
facilitated business roundtable. Our
SCORE business roundtables
start with a short presentation on a current business topic. Following
that presentation, there will be a discussion about current business
issues. Learn what other business owners are doing, learn what works,
and learn what to avoid. Join us at one of our SCORE business
roundtables.
Online Networking For Small Business
SCORE also offers online business networking though our
SCORE Small
Business Community. Join our new online business network and post
your business question(s). Get free advice from other business owners as
well as SCORE counselors.
Online Business Counseling
You can also use SCORE
Online Counseling
for business advice via email discussions. With online counseling,
you're tapping into the experience of thousands of SCORE counselors
located across the United States. Select a SCORE counselor you want to
work with based on their business profile. Submit your question online

SCORE online counseling can be especially useful when you have a very
