About SCORE Chicago

SCORE 'Counselors to America's Small Business' is a nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small business nationwide. SCORE has 389 chapters in locations throughout the United States and its territories, with 10,500 volunteers nationwide. Local chapters provide free counseling and low-cost workshops in their communities. Both working and retired executives and business owners donate their time and expertise as business counselors. SCORE was founded in 1964.   The Chicago Chapter of SCORE provides counseling, workshops and other resources to entrepreneurs and small business through 14 branch locations in Cook and Lake Counties. If you reside in the northwestern collar counties, you may be closer to the Fox Valley Chapter.   SCORE counselors are executives and business owners who have achieved success in their fields and now, as volunteers, want to help you do the same. With over 100 counselors in the chapter, you have access to experts in many areas and industries.   SCORE is a resource partner with the U.S Small Business Administration (SBA).  SBA’s funding is not an endorsement of any products, opinions or services. All SBA funded programs are extended to the public on a non discriminatory basis.
