We have provided one-to-one support to over 3,500 owners, managers and entrepreneurs of start-ups, micro, small and medium-sized businesses throughout Ireland since 1989. This includes general business advice and support, as well as more detailed consultations regarding personnel management, financial projections, costing, marketing, business planning and feasibility research.

We have worked with over 2,000 social enterprises, community and charitable organisations over the past 30 years. This has included advice and support in setting up such organisations, merging groups and implementing governance procedures. We also work closely with groups in identifying needs, demand and funding opportunities, having being directly involved in projects totalling over €35 million euro within the Border, Midlands and Western region alone.

We work closely with local, regional and national statutory and publicly-funded bodies to identify, develop and implement strategic decisions.  This includes research, consultation, facilitation, strategic planning and evaluation for bodies such as local authorities, enterprise agencies, government departments, county-based and regional agencies.

We have developed and delivered over 500 training programmes to more than 8,000 participants for over 30 years, in a wide range of topics and sectors, . A very brief list of these programmes would include training and workshops relating to self-employment, starting your own business, growing your own business, business planning, finance and costing, governance, employment legislation and funding. All of these training programmes are prepared to meet the specific needs of the participants, and are held on a limited number of occasions during the year.
