Overview Welcome to Simple Steps for Starting Your Business.


We at SCORE created this practical, actionable workbook to give entrepreneurs like you the knowledge, resources, and information you need when deciding to start your own business.


SCORE understands the vital role small businesses play in building and sustaining vibrant communities. That’s one reason we are so dedicated to helping aspiring entrepreneurs succeed. As part of that mission, we created Simple Steps for Starting Your Business to share our insights, experiences, and perspectives so you can make a more informed decision about whether starting a small business now is right for you.


Following the Simple Steps for Starting Your Busines workbook, we will be encouraging you to share your ideas and questions with the group with guidance from local SCORE Volusia/Flagler mentors. 

Most of the "work" you can do anytime at your own pace. There are regularly scheduled current discussion topics and  "meetings".

good questions

If she is cleaning houses or businesses in a city other than her business address, does she need to register in that city too? . No. She registers where she conducts her business; not where she provides the services. .
