About

Welcome to Portland Local. Portland local is a free directory for Portland small businesses. You will only find small businesses that are locally based in the greater Portland area in this directory.

Why build a small business focused directory for Portland? Small businesses have had it rough in the post-pandemic economy and Portland SMBs have had a particularly difficult go of it. As someone comes from the agency world, I talk to Portland small business owners all the time, and the stories can be a bit disheartening at times. But it is my hope that shining a light on all the diverse, wonderful, and weird businesses in PDX, I can do some good for our community.

You must be both portland-area-based and qualify as a small business to be included in the directory.
