Southwest Florida SCORE Chapter 219 provides counseling to Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Lehigh Acres, Labelle and the balance of Lee and Hendry Counties.

SCORE Chapter 219 has a variety of special relationships with businesses and organizations in the area. The loan officers of Busey bank, Bank of America, Wachovia and South Trust Banks direct applicants to SCORE that need help in doing a business plan. The Cape Coral Economic Development office mails letters to selected occupational license holders along with a SCORE brochure that explains its free service. Also SCORE has a good working relationship with the Lee County Economic Development Office and the Chapter Chairman is a member of the Horizon Council. Thanks to the cooperation of the Lebelle and Lehigh Acres Chambers of Commerce there is off-site SCORE counseling set-up at their offices.
