WHAT DOES YOUR BUSINESS NEED RIGHT NOW? 💬
Maybe it’s rising operating costs. Maybe it’s harder to keep inventory stocked. Maybe you just need help understanding what’s out there.
Dorchester Bay can help neighborhood food businesses explore stabilization funding, low-interest loans, technical assistance, and workshops.

GETTING YOUR BUSINESS DOCUMENTS TOGETHER. 🗂️
Before you apply for financing, it helps to have a clear paper trail.
That can include separating your business and personal finances, registering your business, and keeping track of what you earn.
Start by creating a clear record of the business you’re already running and identifying what may still be missing.
Not sure where to start? Dorchester Bay can help you understand what you may need to prepare.
