Does Your Car or Truck need a tune-up?

How about your small business?

Just as the vehicle you drive needs attention in order to continue to operate smoothly and efficiently, so too does your own small business.

Ignoring a problem in either case can create disastroous results.

A team of SCORE - Chico counselors can provide on-site, No Cost business tune-up counseling especially tailored to your business.

If you have been in business for at least one year and are interested in improving efficiency and effectiveness, call the Business Tune-Up Program Administrator at 864 0866.
