SCORES Work with Franchise Learning Center Owners is a Lesson in Start-up Success
"More than four years after contacting SCORE, the Lawton Sylvan Learning Center serves approximately 150 students each month with after-school help reading and math, as well as other academic needs. In terms of revenue, the Johnsons franchise ranks among the leading 35 percent of Sylvans more than 900 Learning Centers in North America."

Now how is this related you ask?
"The Johnsons still call on SCORE occasionally when a question arises about management or finances." (quotes Johnson)
SCORE works with a long list of Veterans groups... http://www.score.org/resources_veteran.html such as Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA).
