Derek Crager maintains a passion for helping others...typically he does so in a one on one environment but often he has an idea that helps on the grand scale.

As a resident of Hendricks County since 1969 Derek has owned several businesses and knows how difficult it is to be successful. During the economic downturn between 2000 and 2010 Derek was concerned about the small business person continuing in business, after all, small business employs 90% of America, so he did something about it.

Hendricks County SCORE, Counselors to America's Small Business, debuted in August of 2008 and has been helping new and existing businesses in the county to more profitability and success. Call today to setup your free counseling. 317.745.2400

Derek Crager, center, the joy of success for the county shows in the smile on his face.

Joe Lamble, founder of Frannet and 20 year veteran with SCORE, congratulates Derek Crager for a job well done.
