SCORE
Baton Rouge is nearing forty years of serving small business clients in the
greater Baton Rouge area. SCORE offers free counseling
for start-up businesses and mentoring for those who are facing challenges in
some phase of their business.
Our nearly seventy experienced business men and women volunteer to offer their
experience from all types of business to assist our clients in the areas of
developing a business plan, financial forecasting, marketing and sales,
advertising, human resources, franchise purchasing, buy-sell negotiations,
funding, web page design, computer help, legal assistance, accounting basics,
and more.
We encourage interested volunteers with business experience to consider serving
the community with us as counselors and support staff. Our member meetings are
held on the first Wednesday of each month and include coffee and donuts and
always a good speaker from local business or government offices to keep us
informed.
Our counselors meet with clients in our offices in the Louisiana Technology Park
at 7117 Florida Boulevard on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays mornings every
week, and in our locations in Denham Springs, Dutchtown (Ascension Parish
library), and Plaquemine on a periodic basis.
