You've been thinking about starting your own business. Advice from someone who has taken the leap and survived can mean the difference between your success and failure. SCORE volunteers are experienced business people who can help you make the right moves and avoid pitfalls. If you've already started your business, SCORE can help you too.

The thought of striking out on your own and going alone can be intimidating - maybe downright frightening. You believe in your own abilities. You have work experience in the area you want to pursue. And you have some money saved. However you have responsibilities â€“ financial commitments, a house, a spouse, and children. The risk is greater if your plan affects others who rely on you.

There are more than enough scary stories out there. Nine out of ten new businesses fail in the first two years. But itâ€™s difficult to dismiss the attraction of being your own boss â€“ working hard and building equity in something that will last beyond your retirement. You may be good enough to build a business that will endure generations in your family. Or you may want to create a business based on a new idea or technology and cash out to investors or go public after the initial ramp up.

SCORE Philadelphia is part of SCORE "Counselors to America's Small Business," a national nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of the nation's small businesses. As part of the national organization, you can receive access to 13,500 volunteers all across the country, including corporate executives and successful entrepreneurs.

SCORE volunteers are real world professionals who can provide free and confidential business advice and counseling tailored to meet your needs. SCORE Philadelphia also offers workshops, free or for a modest fee, for both start-up and in-business entrepreneurs.

The path to success in business can be treacherous. Every step is important. Perhaps your next step should be to find out more about SCORE. Visit the SCORE Philadelphia website today and learn how SCOREâ€™s experienced mentors can help you create your success story!
