Greetings from the Gulf Coast Chapter Number 130 located in  the Hancock Bank Bldg., 2510 14th Street  Suite 105 Gulfport, MS 39501.

Chapter Chair: Dave Philo

The Gulf Coast Chapter of SCORE “Counselors to America’s Small Business” is part of a national nonprofit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of the nation’s small business. SCORE volunteers serve as “Counselors to America's Small Business.”

The Gulf Coast Chapter provides free and confidential business counseling tailored to meet the needs of your small business and your personal objectives. The Gulf Coast Chapter also offers workshops, for a modest fee, for both start-up entrepreneurs and in-business small business owners.

SCORE volunteers are real-world professionals with time-tested knowledge who donate thousands of hours to help small businesses succeed. Counselors are experts in such areas as accounting, finance, marketing, management and business plan preparation.

The Gulf Coast Chapter is comprised of about twenty volunteers that provide guidance and counseling to entrepreneurs in thirteen south Mississippi counties as well as providing outreach to several more counties. We look forward to serving you.

Contact this SCORE Chapter to get face-to-face counseling & advice. Or, tap into SCORE's national network of virtual volunteers and ask for small business advice online 24/7. Either way, counseling is free & confidential.

Any suggestions for improvements to this site should be directed to Dave Philo at philos@cableone.net.

Our counselors can provide assistance in developing business plans, business start-up, assistance in finding funding sources, help in developing marketing/sales plans, help in developing financial plans (balance sheets, income statements, profit and loss statements, etc.), human resources, technology, international trade, and many other areas.
