This program will provide assistance for business startups
and expansion of existing businesses through SCORE. SCORE consists of
volunteer counselors who work with businesses that are starting out as well as
those that are already in business. This program can provide a large
variety of services and resources at no cost, and provide counseling that will
be personal and confidential.
When starting a new business, many have thoughts about
whether to start alone or with someone, questions about the legal structure of a
business, or have questions about the need for financing or how to write a
business plan. This program can help.
If a business is already operating, there are questions
about how to get credit for expansion, remodeling or capitalization of a
business, how to increase sales, maintain better control on a business, or other
types of worry with regard to a business. This program can help find the
answers.
This program will provide area entrepreneurs with the
opportunity to partner with skilled counselors who are themselves successful
business professionals who have enjoyed success in their careers to further
facilitate and support the successful new business startup or expanding
business.
The counselors currently involved in the mentoring program
include:
-
Larry Ring, retired Retail Executive
-
Frank Tolstedt, retired Banker
-
Dr. Richard Jaggers, retired Veterinarian
-
Duane Bantam, retired
USDA
We encourage anyone in Box Butte County who is considering
business startup, currently in the process of starting a business, or
considering or currently involved with expanding their business to contact Box
Butte Development at 762-1800 to take advantage of this opportunity to benefit
from the experience of local retired professionals.
