Gator Bait Adventure Tours
After years of living and working in nature, Chris and Jane Ochsenbein decided to start a business focusing on everything they loved about their local environment. "We help create [outdoor] memories that will last a lifetime." 
 
To make sure Chris and Jane could help create these memories, they reached out to SCORE. "Our mentor helped us in so many ways! He got us started with developing a business plan and a priority list that really set us in the right direction." 
 
Gator Bait is currently one of Trip Advisor's top activities in the Myrtle Beach area, a distinction the Ochsenbeins credit in part SCORE's guidance.

Michael will then highlight the challenges an owner faces in obtaining the value of their business and how to overcome them.
