What this service helps with
Scaling Irish companies that need strategic, capability or financial support to expand operations, employment or international sales.
About this support
Enterprise Ireland's Expand your Business page is aimed at scaling companies that need to invest in growth, such as additional hiring, new equipment or facilities, or decarbonisation. It outlines advice, capability building and financial supports available for expansion, including the Strategic Consultancy Grant (planning and consultancy for scaling initiatives), Key Manager Grant (hiring a critical senior manager), Employment Funding Support (up to €150,000 toward new job creation) and Grad Start (graduate recruitment support). The page positions leadership development and advisory supports as the starting point for companies planning strategic, internationally-focused expansion.
