Are you an established company in Ireland seeking to grow your business and in need of funding?

Our Funding Advisory Service is aimed at SMEs looking for new or alternative sources of funding to support business growth.

This workshop, delivered by Grant Thornton on behalf of InterTradeIreland, will provide an overview of the current funding landscape and introduce attendees to a range of active funders. Participants will gain insights into how funding decisions are made, hear directly from funding providers and receive practical advice on preparing their business for funding.

The event will also include a panel discussion and an opportunity to network directly with funders.
