The Local Enterprise Office (LEO) South Dublin offers business mentoring services to those setting up or already established in business.

LEO South Dublin mentoring is only available to clients based within our South Dublin administrative area. 

The Mentoring Service was established to help young or growing eligible companies improve their chances of survival and growth. Occasionally, developing or start up businesses encounter a specific problem or want to undertake a project that requires skills beyond the normal range of the Owner/Manager. Our panel of Mentors are all experienced business executives and consultants who are skilled in working with the owner/manager to identify the problem, find solutions and implement them.

The Mentor's Role

The Mentor's role is to listen, counsel and facilitate the business owner / manager in developing their own business skills and capacities.

The Service

Applications for mentor support are considered in a similar manner to funding applications. Priority may be given to businesses with potential for growth, which demonstrate a clear need for the service, and which are not receiving assistance under other business programmes. In the case of pre enterprise / start ups, preference will be given to promoters with access to sufficient funding sources (in combination with public funding and/or private sector borrowing) to cover the cost of starting a business capable of providing a realistic wage to at least one employee in the short term.
