€10 Million Fund for International Start-Ups |
 |
|
Enterprise Ireland will not provide all the funding required to get a company started; you must invest a significant proportion yourself and/or raise it from commercial sources, but Enterprise Ireland can help with advice and introductions to other investors in Ireland. Enterprise Ireland’s initial equity investment in start ups is mainly in the range €100k - €500k. Their investment can be in the form of ordinary shares and/or convertible preference shares and they will not take more than 10% of the ordinary equity. Unlike many other investors Enterprise Ireland do not normally take a Board seat. Enterprise Ireland also offer a range of non-financial help including advice, introductions and management development programmes to companies in whom they have invested. When you get past the start up stage, other financial assistance is available to help you to keep growing. Where companies relocate to Ireland and expand here, Enterprise Ireland can consider assistance towards the cost of the expansion. Am I eligible? If you are currently based outside of Ireland and are considering locating your business in Ireland, our Start-Up Team are on hand to discuss your plans.
