One of your benefits as a member of the West Orange Chamber of Commerce is convenient access to the services offered by SCORE. Founded in 1964, SCORE is a non-profit organization associated with the U.S. Small Business Administration that is dedicated to the education, growth and success of small businesses. SCORE's 13,000+ volunteers nationwide, consisting of successful business owners, executives and corporate leaders, share their expertise, wisdom and lessons learned in working with a wide range of businesses. Volunteers are experts in such areas as accounting, finance, sales, marketing, management, business plan preparation, obtaining loans, raising capital and various other business matters. 

Through a strategic partnership between the West Orange Chamber of Commerce and SCORE's Newark chapter, seminars are offered at the West Orange Library and SCORE counselors are available for free business advisory meetings with members. Small business owners and managers can choose to meet with SCORE counselors at the company's place of business or other convenient location, for consultations that last a few sessions or a number of years.
