Success Stories Spice of Life
Patience and good planning (and a visit to his local SCORE office) worked for Raul Cantu when he wanted to open his own Mexican restaurant in Richmond, VA. Fifteen years later, SCORE continues to be an integral part of Nacho Mama's game plan.
"After being turned down by several banks to get a small business loan, SCORE helped me tune up my business plan and provided me with the tools to get approved. SCORE was the road map to start my business and continues to be a great guide to my success. I don't know if it would have happened if SCORE had not been there for me. I highly recommend to everyone who is thinking of starting a new business, or if you are in business and need guidance during these hard economic times, use SCORE, it's a great source to help you succeed."
