Testimonials

"Brenda from Dorchester Bay has been crucial in helping Dahlia's Garden acquire a loan for rental assistance. Brenda went above and beyond to even reach out directly with the landlord to obtain information that was taking longer to get. Brenda brought so much clarity to the process. Because Dahlia's Garden is a one person shop, that assistance was crucial for the small business. Small businesses around Dorchester need more of that kind of collaboration."

Estela RosarioOwner, Dahlia's Garden

“I will always be grateful for your patience, and for guiding me through the process, that for many starting is not such a friendly process… it was thanks to Dorchester Bay that I was introduced to Score Boston at one of the many events they offer to support small businesses. Thank you.”

Franklin MarvalOwner, Cyanta Studio
