Welcome to Local Enterprise Office Kildare

We're here to help you and your business navigate Brexit.

We understand that the concept of getting ‘Brexit Ready’ is a huge challenge for many SMEs. For the most part it can be hard to define what exactly it is that you’re getting ready for, when the true impact of Brexit is still unclear. We are here to help.

At the Local Enterprise Office, there is a broad range of programmes and financial supports in place depending on your specific business needs.
