A SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty Case Study
Love My Jean Skirt, founded by Theresa Drazba in Hannibal, Missouri, needed help growing beyond a small home-based sewing operation. After creating a modest jean skirt that resonated with her faith community, she began receiving orders for more skirts than she could manage on her own and needed support to expand the business. SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty worked with her as the business prepared to move from selling on Facebook to a full ecommerce site and storefront.
SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty helped Theresa Drazba develop a business plan over six months and identify financing options to back the company’s growth. With SCORE’s guidance, her bank approved funding, allowing Love My Jean Skirt to open its doors and scale up production. The result was a major increase in demand fulfillment, growing from one or two skirt orders to shipping hundreds of skirts.
