History
We are a microenterprise program of Mountain States Group (MSG). MSG, formed in 1974, is a community-based health and human services organization with local, regional, and national reach. META began microenterprise operations in Idaho in 2002 with a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Refugee Resettlement. At META, we specialize in providing the support needed to launch and grow local businesses. Through our loan funds, one-on-one consulting, and business plan training classes - we equip entrepreneurs from every walk of life with the tools needed to successfully launch and grow a business in southwest Idaho. Last year alone, with almost $200,000 in loans, we supported 133 businesses in Southwest Idaho and ensured the future for 118 jobs.
