Meet Team DBS
About Dale Business Solutions
In 2008, while working full time and going to college full time, I operated a small printing and marketing business from my living room. The quality of my product was excellent, but the business side of things had a few gaps. I realized I needed something more to make this business successful, no matter how pleased my customers were. I had so many questions and all the answers I found involved large budgets, huge time commitments, or some combination of the two. I just needed some expert help, some solid information, and some affordable resources. Fortunately, my experiences between then and now have enabled me to meet this need – and not just for myself. My mission is to be of service to those members of the business community who need help without a large price tag.
