SCORE

National SCORE Web Site

The Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) is a network of retired business men and women that volunteer their time and business expertise to today's entrepreneurs. Known as the "Counselors to America's Small Business," SCORE members come from every facet of the business community - from financing to manufacturing, from marketing to human resources.

Our local SCORE chapter is conveniently located in the UNI Regional Business Center. Contact us today to schedule an appointment with a SCORE counselor.

Small Business Administration

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is an independent federal agency established by Congress to assist, counsel, support and protect the interest of small business concerns and to assist them in their start-up and growth.

The SBA's role in the UNI RBC is important to the center's success. They provide financial support to both counseling organizations (SBDC and SCORE), and in March 2001 they installed the first Business Information Center (BIC) in the state of Iowa into the RBC computer lab.
