Avoid time-consuming and costly mistakes by learning from someone who has “been there, done that.”

SCORE business counselors are available once a month from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Medford library, 205 S. Central Ave., Medford, for free and confidential one-on-one small business counseling. Individuals who operate or wish to start small businesses can discuss business planning, organization and startup, finance, marketing, and other critical business issues with SCORE volunteers in private, confidential sessions.

No appointment necessary. Spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
