SCORE workshops present an overview covering the basics you need to know to make your business successful.  Workshop speakers are experienced executives with successful business careers.  Workshops run from 3 to 8 hours and are offered for a modest cost.

If you are just starting your business, we suggest you take the Small Business Workshop for Startups and Existing Businesses.  You will get a tour of the many issues successful business owners need to know.  After you take this workshop, we suggest a little planning and research - and a free counseling session to address your specific questions.

Other workshops dive deeper into specific topics.  Pick the workshops that match your needs.  We are also open to suggestions for new workshops - suggestions.
