Free Counseling

SCORE counselors are here to help you succeed. Meet with a business counselor to develop your business plan, discuss a new idea or tackle a business problem.

There is no charge for counseling, no matter how many sessions are needed. Each session will last about one hour. We will continue to be interested in your progress, so follow-on sessions are encouraged. Counseling is available to all U.S. citizens over the age of 13.

Counseling  sessions normally occur at the SCORE Business Resource Center but counseling can be arranged, by appointment at:

  • Your place of business
  • Any other mutually agreeable place
To get free counseling phone SCORE at (816) 235-6675 or complete and submit the Counseling Information Form.
