Discussing Proprietary Information with SCORE Counselors

Discussing Proprietary Information with SCORE Counselors
As a small business owner or entrepreneur, you have some great ideas that could be moneymakers. However, you have questions. You would like to discuss the ideas with someone, yet you are hesitant about revealing what you believe are novel ideas.
You have heard about SCORE, but are hesitant to discuss the ideas in person or via email.

Be assured that, just as doctors or lawyers, SCORE counselors are bound to secrecy and cannot divulge any information obtained during an in-person or email session with a client.

If I had what was an idea for a novel product or service, I too, might be hesitant to discuss it with someone I barely knew or with whom I was ‘talking’ via email. I think I would choose to have an in-person meeting, where I could get a good feel for the person with whom I was dealing, and reveal information as I became more comfortable.

In the past, I have provided consultations via both in-person and email to entrepreneurs or small business owners who felt comfortable revealing proprietary details to me.
