As the pandemic sent demand for SCORE Maine s services soaring in 2020, the organization provided virtual business mentoring and education support to 8,218 small businesses and entrepreneurs statewide an increase of 12% from the previous year.
The figures are from SCORE Maine s newly released annual report for 2020, a year that was busier than ever for the volunteer agency, a U.S. Small Business Administration resource partner. 2020 marked our 10th year of growing our client services in Maine, Nancy Strojny, a longtime SCORE mentor and assistant district director for SCORE Maine, told Mainebiz. In a year like no other, our mighty team of trusted volunteers made a difference in the lives of Maine s small business owners.
