Free Advice From Those Who’ve Done It
Thinking of starting a business? In need of marketing advice for your existing business?
Then consider tapping into the services of the southeastern Connecticut chapter of SCORE, which dubs itself the counselor to America’s small business community. It’s valuable advice – and it’s free. As in, no charge.
The southeastern Connecticut SCORE chapter is an impressive group; it includes many retired executives with deep corporate experience, and others with specialties ranging from metallurgy to finance and marketing.

It’s a most impressive group, but what struck me the most was how helpful they want to be to local entrepreneurs considering a business venture, whether it’s starting their own firm or merely finding out about the facts of small-business ownership, from the highlights to the pitfalls.
The local chapter is part of the national SCORE organization, which for many years was known as the Senior Corps of Retired Executives. These days, however, it goes simply by its SCORE moniker.
The organization has been around since 1964 and estimates that it’s helped nearly 8 million “aspiring entrepreneurs.” It now has nearly 400 chapters nationwide and about 10,500 active counselors. Read full article.
