FREE BUSINESS COUNSELING

Free and confidential counseling by our professionals is a key factor for you in starting a new business or improving a current business. We can assist you in five ways:

Visit Our Office:

Our Asheville SCORE office is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Call the office (828-271-4786) to schedule a free one-hour appointment for an initial get-together. It will be very beneficial if you briefly describe your situation and the type of assistance you seek. You can call at any time and leave a message. The first available counselor will return your call. Subsequent appointments can be made directly with your counselor.

Team Visit:

We will assemble a select team of our member professionals to work with a company to help solve its ongoing business problem(s). SCORE assistance will commence subject to a joint agreement by SCORE and the company. Normal assistance period is generally 3 months. Examples of business problems that we can address include:

  • Adequacy of strategic and operational planning
