Free Help for Business Owners

No, there's not a catch. SCORE's experienced mentors will help you take your business to the next level.

When it comes down to it, behind just about every small business is an entrepreneur hoping to turn their passion into a paycheck.

I agree Brigit, I lived in Royal Oak for a while and I currently live back in Wyandotte again, and I miss having decent options for grocery shopping and eating out. Hopefully things will slowly migrate down this way.   more ›
