Start-up grant
helps in the beginning
As a new entrepreneur you can receive start-up grant. A start-up grant is a discretionary allowance, granted to secure your livelihood as a new entrepreneur. It is meant for you, not your enterprise.
When considering entrepreneurship, you should contact the employment services in good time to ensure your eligibility for a start-up grant. Full-time operations must not be commenced before a decision on the start-up grant has been made. The Enterprise Agencies will help you also in applying for a start-up grant.
