Frequently Asked Questions

How do sessions work, and how often can we meet?

Sessions are flexible and conducted via virtual video calls, phone, or in-person across Space Coast locations. You can book a single session to solve an immediate bottleneck or meet regularly as your business grows.

Is SCORE mentoring really 100% free, and what’s the catch?

completely free. As a volunteer mentor with SCORE Space Coast (a resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration), mentoring is provided at no cost to you. There are zero hidden fees, sales pitches, or upsells.

What should I expect from our mentoring meeting, and how often should we meet?

You can expect a confidential, focused discussion centered entirely on your current business goals and bottlenecks. We will review where your business stands, identify immediate 2–3 priorities, outline actionable next steps, and answer any specific operational, financial, or marketing questions you have.

How can I best prepare for our sessions so we maximize our time together?

Bring 1 Metric or 1 Bottleneck: Don’t bring ten things. Bring the single biggest constraint currently capping your revenue or slowing your launch (e.g., offer pricing, customer acquisition, or operational capacity).

Bring Real Data, Not Guesses: Have your exact numbers ready—current pricing, customer count, conversion rates, or raw offer details. If you have a business plan or marketing draft, have it open.

Write Down 3 Specific Questions: Frame them as tactical "how to" or "either/or" decisions so we spend 0% of the session wandering and 100% solving problems.

Be Ready to Execute Immediately: The value of advice is zero without implementation. Expect to leave with 2–3 clear action items to execute before the next time we talk.
