SCORE®’s helpful and supportive mentors can meet with you one-on-one and as often as you need. They will help you identify your needs and discover solutions. You can meet with a SCORE® counselor just once or as long as a year.

Especially check the section on Small and Minority Businesses, where you will find information on business services, financing assistance, and getting contracts with the state of Arkansas. If you are African American, Hispanic American, Asian American, American Indian, or Pacific Islander, you’ll be interested in being certified as a minority business.
