Quarryfield Capital Group, a small-business funding broker in Hillsboro, Oregon, lists the types of free help available to Washington County, Oregon owners: small business advising, economic development, chambers of commerce, the SBA and grant programs. From SE 2nd Ave we have no tie to any of these organizations. Specific offices are confirmed before they are named; lending partners make credit decisions.
A note on independence
No organization described below has any affiliation with Quarryfield Capital Group, endorses it or pays it. We list these types of help because many owners benefit from free advice before choosing funding, and some will find they do not need to borrow at all.
Small business development advising
Small Business Development Centers offer free one-on-one advising on business plans, cash flow and financing readiness, funded in part through the SBA network. Owners searching for an Oregon small business development center are usually looking for the nearest office.
County-level growth and expansion help in Washington County, OR
Owners also search for a Washington County economic development council. County and regional economic development organizations typically help with site selection, business expansion and connections to public programs. Washington County, Oregon is a large business base, with 16,355 employer establishments in 2023 (County Business Patterns 2023), so these organizations see a wide range of requests.
Chambers of commerce
Searches for the Hillsboro chamber of commerce in Oregon are common, and chambers also serve Beaverton, Forest Grove and other towns in the county. Chambers offer networking, events and member referrals; membership is usually paid.
The SBA
At the federal level, the Small Business Administration backs a share of loans made by participating lenders and runs a network of district offices. Quarryfield does not arrange SBA loans; owners who want one usually start with a bank or credit union that participates.
City hall in Hillsboro, OR
The City of Hillsboro website (checked in our evidence pack on 2026-10-16) covers licensing, permits and city programs. Owners search for Hillsboro small business grants and a small business stabilization program; whether a program is open, and who qualifies, has to be confirmed with the city.
Grants
Grant money is outside our work. Grant programs are run by public agencies and nonprofits, usually for specific purposes and with competitive applications. An advising center is a good place to learn which ones fit.

Walking into an adviser's office prepared

- Know what the money is for and when it is needed.
- List any debt or advances already in place.
- Ask the adviser to review any offer you already have.
