Welcome to SCORE in Northern California

We are part of a national nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of the nation's small businesses.

SCORE volunteers provide FREE and confidential business advice and counseling tailored to meet the needs of your small business and your personal objectives.  Our service area includes Butte, Glenn, Tehema, Plumas, Shasta, Lassen, Trinity, Siskiyou, and Modoc counties. 

Face to Face counseling is offered in Chico, Oroville, Paradise and Redding.  Phone and online counseling is available throughout our entire service area.  We also offer workshops, for a modest fee, for both start-up and in-business entrepreneurs.

SCORE volunteers are real-world professionals with time-tested knowledge who donate thousands of hours to help small businesses succeed. Counselors are experts in such areas as accounting, finance, marketing, management and business plan preparation. We have assisted many clients in obtaining business loans.

We look forward to serving you.
