Success Stories
The Art of Business Hive Store

Justin Kingsley Noyes and Rachel Vanatta Noyes had the talent to start a business selling Rachel's jewelry and Justin's art, but lacked the business tools to make it happen. In 2005, Rachel contacted SCORE, and in 2007, The Hive Creations was born. Today, their business represents over 300 talented artists from all over the world.

 

"From brainstorming our first business concepts to financing and expansion, SCORE was there each step of the way. If our counselor did not have a specific answer to a question, he put us in touch with someone who would. The ball was always kept rolling. Now, well into our fourth year of business, SCORE is still there whenever we need advice on new projects and undertakings." Find out more.
