Included within the brochure are inspiring local business success stories, information on business supports. It also profiles County Longford and some of the advantages businesses benefit from, including its central location, excellent road and rail network, lower cost of doing business and access to an educated and skilled workforce.

Local launches also took place across the county with the Municipal District (MD) Cathaoirligh joined by local businesses: C&D Food with Ballymahon MD Cathaoirleach Cllr Paul Ross, Avery Dennison with Longford MD Cathaoirleach Cllr Martin Monaghan, Kiernan Milling with Granard MD Cathaoirleach Cllr Turlough McGovern.
