The Local Enterprise Office Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown (LEO DLR) is teaming up with Microfinance Ireland, to launch a new type of loan support aimed at the small business community in the County.

We invite small business to attend our breakfast briefing on the morning of Thursday, 2nd October in the Royal Marine Hotel, Dún Laoghaire. At this event, the ‘LEO Microfinance’ loan will be presented. Under the new initiative, small business loans on offer, of between €2,000 and €25,000, at a reduced rate of interest. Benefitting from advice and support during the application stage, start-ups and small businesses can now apply directly to LEO DLR.

Under a new Protocol between the LEOs around the country and Microfinance Ireland (MFI), it is expected that up to 250 new applications for the loan support will take place this year alone. Based on an average loan size of €15,500, the €3.8 million in lending is expected to support 500 jobs nationwide. Importantly, loans are generally unsecured and can be used for working capital, as well as items like equipment, hiring new employees and marketing campaigns. Start-ups and small businesses across all industries and sectors, which employ fewer than 10 people, are being encouraged to apply if they are finding it difficult to access credit.
