A Greeting From Our Chair
Greetings!  SCORE is a national volunteer organization of business experts who give entrepreneurs real-world business advice and know-how. SCORE counselors represent every business area.  Some have worked as executives of Fortune 500 companies, while others are small business owners themselves.  The Baldwin County SCORE chapter, with locations in Fairhope and Foley, has members from all business backgrounds including accounting, law, marketing, investment banking, operations, finance, franchising and manufacturing. 

SCORE counselors share their experience and advice through confidential one-to-one and team mentoring.    SCORE volunteers will also visit a client’s place of business for on-site consultation.  An entrepreneur’s relationship with SCORE can last just one or two sessions, or for a number of years, based on individual needs.  SCORE has the support of many area banks, as they help clients prepare sound business plans and better position them to secure financing.

In addition to weekly counseling sessions, SCORE conducts numerous workshops and seminars throughout the year, addressing the issues and challenges facing small businesses.  To take advantage of the services SCORE offers, contact your nearest Chamber of Commerce or visit the SCORE web site at www.baldwin.scorechapter.org.
