Raising Finance

When your business wants to raise new finance, the first step is matching your funding source to the opportunity.

Growth in the range of funding sources available to Irish businesses means that there are a variety of options to consider, including:

Asset backed lending – leasing and invoice discounting
Bank debt over a specified term
Mezzanine finance
Specialist growth funds
Employment and investment incentive scheme / Startup Refunds for Entrepreneurs (SURE)
Private equity from high net worth individuals, family offices and corporate entities
Venture Capital funds – suitable for early stage and high growth potential companies

Matching funding may also be available from state agencies such as Enterprise Ireland, the WDC Investment Fund, Local Enterprise Offices and LEADER.

When approaching potential funders, it is essential to have a robust funding plan which identifies the mix of finance you require and sets out the repayments and security that you will offer your lenders.
