 Why Choose
SCORE to Speak to Your Group?
Your group typically represents community leaders. These leaders have
an interest and many times a direct contribution to local economic development.
Some may actually be in business and most have some interaction with local
small business. SCORE is a champion for small business. SCORE deals with
the education, formation, growth and success of small business and nonprofit
organizations in your community.
How Significant
is Small Business?
Small business is the backbone of America's entrepreneurial spirit.
According to the last census there are 95,258 small businesses in the
18 counties served by Greater Knoxville SCORE. In Knox County alone there
are 34,672 small businesses.

What does SCORE Talk
About at your Meeting?
We can provide an educational presentation on most issues of today's
business environment. However, our main purpose is to provide your members
information about our services, a vital resource for any of your members
who own or manage a small business or have friends or associates in small
business. The official government definition is somewhat varied but for
a manufacturer is is a business with 500 employees or less. For many communities
that is a "big" business.
Our secondary purpose in talking to your group is to present to your
membership various volunteer opportunities as new SCORE members to give
back to the community
