The Service Corps of Retired Executives
The Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) provides confidential and experienced counseling to the prospective business owner, those already in business, not-for-profit organizations, and any persons or groups who need business-related information. Business planning is emphasized. SCORE, with its experienced entrepreneurs, provides these community services without charge. SCORE also works collaboratively with the staff of the Small Business Development Center (SBDC).
Workshops developed and conducted by SCORE members are regularly offered to the general public on topics related to business start-up. Speakers generally include topic experts from the community. A fee is charged for the workshops.
SCORE receives its support locally from Ulster County Community College and the Ulster County Chamber of Commerce. SCORE is known as the volunteer arm of the U.S. Small Business Administration.
