MERIT NW Information

MERIT helps entrepreneurs by providing training and ongoing support from pre-business through start-up, and beyond business-launch. We serve residents of Marion, Polk, Yamhill and surrounding Oregon counties; many of whom are unemployed, underemployed, hobbyists who want to earn supplemental income, individuals testing the feasibility of a business idea, or individuals already in the start-up phase of their business. We provide assistance in all aspects of asset buiding and economic development for business owners and non-business owners. We proudly serve both English and Spanish speakers and are currently over 50% minority employed.
