MCAGC General Meeting: Solutions in a Struggling Economy

Words: Mason BanksThe Mason Contractors Association of Greater Chicago will be holding a General Meeting on July 24, 2008 for "SOLUTIONS in a STRUGGLING ECONOMY."

Come see the authors of a website that can let you know of any complications your general contractor, developer or owner might have. Merritt Credit Bureau staff and executives will be on hand — let them help you navigate the site and show you its many uses.

Contractors — make sure you can get paid/check-up on your developer, your GC, your Owner’s Financial position. Any claims against — you can see on this site. Never has it been more important to know who you are working for and if they have the ability and the money to pay you for your walls!

Suppliers — this is just as important for you.

This meeting is opportunity to see what Merritt Credit Bureau and a computer can do for you and your company. Construction Trades Bulletin, Merritt History Reports and Merritt’s State of IL UCCs.

Merritt Credit Bureau is already being used by a number of our members and supporting members. They are experts in Public Record Research, Compilation, Publication and Business Development Strategies. In this market this meeting is a must.
