The Service Corps of Retired Executives or SCORE is a 13,000-member volunteer association sponsored by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). SCORE is made up of retired executives and small business owners. SCORE volunteers provide counseling to small business owners free of charge. Teams of volunteer counselors also assist small business owners in the areas of planning and management and offer seminars and workshops on major considerations in running a business.
