SCORE is dedicated to educating entrepreneurs and helping our nation's small businesses to form, grow and thrive.

We provide free, face to face, confidential, counseling to anyone thinking about starting a new business or already in business and looking for help.

SCORE's counselors are located throughout VenturaCounty. Please consult our website at www.scoreventura.org for counseling locations and instructions on scheduling a free meeting with a counselor.

SCORE also provides low cost seminars for those interested in starting or managing a business. Topics include business fundamentals, planning, marketing, internet, financing, insurance and managing for fun and profit.

The seminars are held at Oxnard College and at Simi Valley Adult School and Career Institute. Dates and times for classes are different for each location. Please check our website at http://www.scoreventura.org/attend_workshops.html for further details on the seminars and to determine which location will work best for you.
