Victory State Bank Shines Spotlight on SCORE Association

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (Dec. 15, 2011) -- Victory State bank is encouraging aspiring business owners and entrepreneurs to take advantage of free guidance available on Staten Island.

Last week, we discussed once such organization: The Small Business Development Center at the College of Staten Island. In today’s blog, we are focusing on a similar organization known as SCORE.

The SCORE Association “Counselors to America’s Small Business” is a nonprofit association comprised of 11,500 volunteer business counselors throughout the United States and its territories.

SCORE members are trained to serve as counselors, advisers and mentors to aspiring entrepreneurs and business owners.

These services are offered at no fee, as a community service.

There are 389 SCORE chapters in urban, suburban and rural communities.

SCORE was formed in 1964 and nearly 4.5 million Americans have utilized its services. The organization can help you if you are trying to start a business or if you need some help with your existing enterprise.
