SCORE Chicago – Free Mentoring for Business Owners

Business owners – especially those at the start of their journey – wear many hats. From managing the books, to hiring employees, to serving clients, entrepreneurs are busy.

Since 1964, more than 17 million entrepreneurs have received support from SCORE. Funded, in part, through a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), SCORE’s expert volunteers provide provide free mentoring, resources, and education to small business owners around the country.

By the numbers, SCORE’s impact continues to grow, and the Chicago chapter had a record-breaking FY24! They delivered more services to small businesses than ever before — over 10,000 total touches, up 127% from pre-pandemic levels. They are a great partner in supporting Chicagoland entrepreneurs with their growth.
