SCORE Launches Web Site with New Resources for Entrepreneurs Expanded Content Provides Extra Value at Each Stage of Business Development
Reading, PA.—SCORE “Counselors to America’s Small Business” announces a fresh, new look for the SCORE Small Business Web Site, www.readingscore.com, designed to be more visually appealing and easier for clients and visitors to use.
New How-To and Business Tools sections offer valuable guides, templates and resources to help small business owners achieve success.
Through focus groups with SCORE small business owners, SCORE found that entrepreneurs wanted more information on starting, financing, managing and growing a business. SCORE
re-organized online content around each of those themes. How-To articles provide tips and advice on a variety of topics, including business plans, venture capital, customer relations and increasing sales. Business Tools links offer access to SCORE online workshops, template gallery, business quizzes, public relations toolkit and other free resources.
As part of the Web site makeover, SCORE refined navigation features and added a site map to make getting around easier. New photos added to each page support SCORE’s awareness campaign theme, Live Your Dream. SCORE Can Help.
Chairman Ray Bailey says, “The new site is now a more comprehensive resource for entrepreneurs.” The Reading SCORE Web site can be found at www.readingscore.com. Contact the SCORE office by phone at 610.376.3497.
Last year, more than 1.3 million people visited the SCORE Web Site, up from 405,000 people in the year 2000.
Since 1964, Reading SCORE has assisted more than 12,000 small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs through counseling and business workshops. More than 20 volunteer business counselors serve the Greater Reading area. For more information about starting or operating a small business, call 610.376.3497.
