Success Stories: It's in the Bag!
 If Jack Licata was unsure about his new trash bag invention, his SCORE counselor was not. Seeing the potential, the counselor helped Jack get his product on the right track, and into consumers' hands. "What my SCORE counselor did was keep me focused on the end game. He worked with us to develop our business plan and kept encouraging us to get our product out there. With his help we identified that going green was the wave of the future. Our product is made from biodegradable plastic and recycled cardboard, and is manufactured by disabled veterans and people with disabilities. He also encouraged us to take advantage of our status as a Veteran Owned Small Business." Find out more.
