SCORE provided them with resources that gave them the confidence that they could achieve their objectives. SCORE was particularly helpful in developing a business plan which enabled them to obtain the financing necessary to implement their vision.
The SCORE mentors encouraged them to go ahead with their plans and gave them the confidence that they could succeed. The SCORE mentors made them feel that they were not alone in attempting to achieve their objectives. They always made themselves available when their help was needed and brought in an additional SCORE member to help in areas where they did not have the needed expertise.
