Connect, Grow, and Learn

 The North Marion Business Resource Fairs are designed to bring state, regional, and local service providers together.

If you are a business owner or representative, or are interested in learning more about starting a business, join us at our next Resource Fair to learn about the organizations and resources available to help them start or grow a business.
