Serving industry from food production and distribution to lending to construction contracting, we have a weekly Merritt Intelligence Report for your industry. We research and compile information from State and County original-source documents throughout the metropolitan area. These records are then previewed and edited before publication, thereby insuring accuracy and completeness.

We offer several different reports, each containing records that apply to different industries or territories that we cover.
