Veteran- and woman-owned small business owners Eric and Elizabeth Schuster knew their company, Boston Pedorthic, was threatened when the pandemic began. Through MSBDC advising and training, the company was able to receive the financial assistance needed to continue operating. An SBA EIDL advance, EIDL low-interest loan, and PPP provided financial reserves until patients returned. Elizabeth says, "It was a pleasure to work with the MSBDC. I could relax, trusting that we were in competent hands."
