SCORE – low/moderate income recipient assistance
SCORE - low/moderate income recipient assistance
Council: 11376 - BRIDGTON-FRYEBURG
Project Description:
Assisted client in accessing funding for a transportation (cab) business she is starting in Lewiston, ME. Client is a low/moderate income person, somewhat dependent on social services. I assisted her in preparing financial projections which helped her in obtaining a $5,000 grant from the Career Center, which was used to purchase a used vehicle. The financial projections also assisted her in obtaining a low interest government loan for working capital. Client will employ another full time person, so this effort assisted in the creation of 2 new full time jobs. This will also help the client to become self sufficient.
SCORE (Service Corps) is a voluntary organization funded by the US Small Business Administration. I am a SCORE volunteer Business Mentor, and there are no fees at all charged to clients. I generally volunteer about 5-20 hours per week during the months of May-September.
