Our Mentors
Your local SCORE Traverse City mentors are current and retired business men and women who volunteer their time to support and grow small businesses in northern Michigan. SCORE mentors will meet face-to-face with clients to provide guidance and advice on how to start a small business or grow an existing business. Entrepreneurs are paired with experts experienced in accounting, legal issues, business planning, marketing, distribution, selling and acquisitions, etc.
SCORE Traverse City mentors have learned valuable lessons in their careers and are willing to give of their time and share this knowledge and insight with others who need confidential business guidance. We want to help start up companies and 2nd and 3rd tier established businesses to thrive in our community.
