BusinessLoans.ie is celebrating International Women’s Day. The theme this year is #ChooseToChallenge. We choose to challenge the imbalance of lending & investment in female-founded companies. Looking back over the past year & the finance we have helped with, the majority of the loans were for businesses owned and run by men. We need to work harder on being more accessible and are setting a goal to overcome this.

We did help some great female-founded businesses though. Our favourite was a loan for a uniforms business during the pandemic. They were pivoting from their usual hotel uniforms business to helping our nurses and medical professionals battling Covid19 by importing & manufacturing gear to keep them safe.

Wherever you’re at with your entrepreneurship journey there’s help at hand. Check out these 5 essential supports for female entrepreneurs in Ireland. Throughout 2021 we would love to help more female founders in Ireland with business loans to grow their business. We are happy to set up a Zoom and discuss loans as well as help with any useful connections, finance or otherwise, in our network. Get in touch today.

The Covid supports list for Irish businesses is changing all the time. Here is an updated list of government-backed loans and competitions open to micro, small & medium businesses navigating their way through the difficult Covid period.

There are many more business finance options from alternative lenders if you find you don’t qualify for the above or they are not suitable for your purpose. We are especially busy now with refinancing existing business debt, moving it to terms of 5 years & making repayments more manageable. We are here to help and available 7 days to organise business loan quotes on 01 55 636 55
