FACT: NONE OF US KNOWS EVERYTHING!

When you need help with a business issue, whether it's beginning a new business, taking an existing business to the next level, instituting basic business or strategic planning, or dealing with a specific business-related challenge, turn to SCORE.

Why SCORE?
SCORE is a national non-profit organization made up of retired and working business professionals who volunteer their time to help the small business community.

What does it cost?
That's the best part. It's free. That's right, free.

How do I get started with SCORE?
Easy. Just contact the Santa Maria Chamber of Commerce at 805-925-2403, ext. 812 and make an appointment.

What do I bring to the meeting?
When you make your appointment, you'll be given an information form to fill out. Bring that with you, and whatever else you think you will need. Keep in mind that it's best to be as prepared as possible, so we can get down to specifics at your first session.
