When you undertake that new business and don't quite know where to start, give SCORE the one call that gets your business going. We offer you our most valuable assets - time and experience.

SCORE of Franklin County provides information on finance, insurance, engineering, taxes, planning, marketing, public relations and so much more. (See a complete listing on our Members' Page)

We generally schedule two of our counselors for the first, second and fourth Wednesday of every month at 2:00 p.m. and again at 3:30 p.m., providing two one-hour confidential counseling sessions. Our clients are normally either those individuals who have plans to start their own business, or businesses that are already operation and are seeking guidance for a specific problem. This gives our clients the opportunity for informal discussions in private with our members for a full hour, with additional follow-up sessions if we jointly agree they would be beneficial. There are no pre-conditions that must be met to schedule a counseling session other than a sincere desire to operate a successful business

If you write, call or e-mail the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce, in whose Greenfield Main Street office the counseling sessions are held, they can sign you up for a time to best match your schedule. Also, if you briefly discuss your needs with the Chamber, they will attempt to provide the best match of your needs with our members' expertise.
