Welcome To Martinsville's SCORE Chapter

SCORE, "Counselors To America's Small Business", is a nonprofit association dedicated to providing, NO-COST, personalized, confidential face-to-face counseling to help you start-up a new business, secure financing or operate, manage and/or expand an existing business.

What is the SCORE Association?

Are business secrets safe with SCORE?
