You don't have to go to Gainesville to get sba counseling from SCORE. My husband is a SCORE counselor. He's affiliated with SCORE in Eustis, I believe, and also counsels around the country by phone. The Villages SCORE office is no longer there, but their counselors have hooked up with other chapters nearby.
