SCORE used to stand for the Social Core of Retired Executives. It is a nonprofit based in the US, with volunteer workers, and it is partially funded by the SBA, banks, and other people. It consists of people who have business knowledge and want to help people who are just getting started in business, without charging any fees.

Score mentorship gets funding from the Small Business Administration, grants, and sponsorships from banks or other businesses. Apart from the Score website,  Score mentorship also has individual, state, and regional-level websites, as well as a presence on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. They hold an online workshop for free twice a week.

In the UK, there is a system where people can be on benefits such that when starting a business, they can apply for a grant to get funding for their business idea, however, the person must meet certain conditions.

Before starting a business, you need to be in the right mindset. Score mentorship often gives people homework to see how prepared they are for the business. Some of these include competition research, market studies, getting a business name, creating a business plan, and others.

There is no pressing need to quit your job when starting a business; keep in mind that you may need the funds for unforeseen issues outside your business plans. There's also nothing wrong with not wanting to start a business; the most important thing is being happy with whichever choice you make.

If you have dyslexia or any other disability or learning disability,  try not to think of it as a disability; it's only a disability if you let it be one. Neurodiverse people need to talk more about their diversity so that more people can know about it and relate to it. People with learning differences need to realize that there's nothing wrong with them and in many cases, they are much smarter than most people.
