Business Seminars

SCORE offers low-cost business training workshops and seminars for both start-up and in-business entrepreneurs. Workshops and seminars are open to all U.S. citizens over the age of 18. Training topics range from: writing a business plan to e-commerce to marketing—depending on the current needs of our business community. Workshops also offer an opportunity to interact with other local small business owners. Our workshop presenters are practicing professionals including accountants, lawyers, bankers and business mangers from diverse businesses and industries. Other facilitators are SCORE counselors who have years of industry and business experience.


Our Seminars and Workshops are given by a Seminar Faculty Member who gives his time and expertise to serve the community.  He is very successful and widely considered as an expert in his field.   Normally, you would pay thousands of dollars for a consultation and SCORE brings them to you for one info-packed day at a fraction of the cost.  Let us impart to you the wisdom and business know-how you need to succeed in your new venture.  You simply can't afford to miss this!
