Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) is a non-profit organization of volunteer counselors who provide free mentoring, education programs, workshops, and webinars to small businesses.

[3] SCORE was chartered by an Act of the U.S. Congress in 1964 to provide technical and managerial guidance to the business community, profit and not-for-profit organizations, and prospective entrepreneurs through the use of volunteer counselors.

The OIG recommended that the SBA improve its oversight and monitoring of SCORE's use of government funds, and its reporting of performance results.

[11] It has a team of approximately 50 salaried employees at its headquarters in Herndon, Virginia who support the organization of over 10,000 volunteers[12] in 250 office locations throughout the U.S.

SCORE's website offers a comprehensive small business library with "how-to" guides, downloadable templates, checklists, articles, videos, infographics, and blogs.
