Thanks for sharing your experience with SCORE, Tracy. Very helpful for others. For rural areas, it pays to ask if SCORE can come to you. Many SBA-associated resources are willing to travel.

SCORE might also be a resource for some. I could have sworn that they have some online mentoring options available, but I didn’t see any when I took a quick glance just now. Still, these links might be useful to some of your readers: https://www.score.org/mentors/find and https://www.score.org/chapters-map

Even if a SCORE chapter isn’t located in or close to a rural town, it might be worth the drive to meet with a mentor at different points in establishing and building a business. I would have driven a few hours for the 4-hour one-on-one (no cost!) meeting we had with our mentor when we were putting together the financials portion of our business plan. The time spent was so worth it!

Have a great day!
Tracy
