Customer ReviewsforPACE Business Development Center

This company should be ashamed of themselves. I applied for a ***** in which I qualified for. I kept emailing them back and forth for months because this ***** would be helping out my business. They said they didnt have any funds as of yet and at that time 5 months has went by. They finally got back to me through email about 4 months later. I had recently moved to another state because what business is not allowed to move? They said I wasnt elegible just because I moved. Thats not right at all. They took 9 months to finally get funds for this ***** and all of a sudden Im not eligible when I was at the time, just because I moved. This ***** should still have been given to me. This place is suppose to help businesses and care about them and obviously they dont. Very sad. Its their fault for taking almost a year to give businesses this ***** but its my fault just because I moved???? Not right at all. God sees everything. All I have to say.

Very rude and discriminatory. I had a zoom call with ***** Do during the pandemic and the way that lady spoke to me, her body language, and her eye-rolling was so humiliating I asked her why she was being so condescending and rude. Ever since I have not been able to get business development help, but it is the only office in LA the Govt links keep sending you to. I signed up through the Workforce Center across the hall from them, went into the office and even called her to acknowledge our "disagreement" in 202 but was hoping we could move forward. No response, no answer.... just apparently black-balled from her office..... for asking her to address me with simple respect. You cannot help someone you do not respect.I called today to ask was there any other business counselors in the office and was told it was but every time I gave feedback on how ***** treated me, the link disconnected. When I called the US Minority Business Development Agency to complain, I was told that ***** is the director so I am convinced she was listening in on the call and intentionally disconnecting it.The girl *******(sp) Brown at US Minority Business Development Agency seemed helpful at first and that is when I learned that ***** Do is the director of the office and probably the reason I have not been connected with "the many counselors" they advertise having. She literally blackballed me from getting business counseling from her office period. This a minority, women business development office being rude to certain women for requesting simple respect. ******* claimed she would have someone reach out but got irritated when I asked if would they treat me worse for contacting them then she started being condescending too.They condescend you to help you. They were intentionally rude and condescending and when it gets worst with the request for respect. It was extremely discriminatory and disrespectful. Better off learning on your own than accepting emotional abuse from ANYONE.
