When you are starting to get your business off the ground, expanding to trying to keep going after hitting a short-term hurdle, youโll need funding. There are a few options for you and grants for small businesses may be just what you need to get a little leg up.
Whatโs a business grant?
A business grant is different to a business loan: a grant does not have to be repaid. Eligible businesses can apply for grants and receive them as one-off payments or as regular injections of cash designed to boost growth without having to worry about repayment terms.
This Town Square blogpost will guide you through how business grants work, exploring government grants available for small businesses in Ireland, what financial help you could qualify for and how to apply for them.
The types of grants available for you will depend on the nature of your business and the stage youโre at. Some grants are aimed at startups, while others focus more on providing finance for growth. The eligibility requirements for each grant will be outlined to help small business owners understand what they may be able to apply for.
