Great benefits team! Easy to talk to, attentive, knowledgeable, and helps find solutions quickly. Wonderful at explaining the process and what to expect when picking insurance, etc. We are very happy with our choice to use them for our business.

Markham Woods Animal Hospital
With the help of MBS, I was able to structure my company in the way it needed to be for the growth. I now am operating much better and have more time for the tasks I need to be doing as well as more time for myself.

The Next Steps Counseling Center
Merritt Business Solutions is wonderful to work with, professional, and always available to consult. We started with them last year for payroll and benefits solutions to meet our small business needs. They are a perfect partner and I would highly recommend them to any small business in need of these support mechanisms.

Fleet Feet Owner
We were introduced to this group last year after leaving a large company who could not manage our needs . Although it took some time to get up and running, we achieved great success with the Navigator application, which we have used before, and in enrolling and managing our new employees. We are ready to present next year’s plans ahead of schedule and are confident about similar results this coming year. This team saves us a lot of time and energy in getting everyone on the same page promptly.
