S.B.C.I. Brexit Loan Scheme

Brexit and its uncertainty is of significant concern to SMEs.

With the process remaining unclear, many businesses will seek extra resources e.g. Increased finance, more stock, extra administration staff.

Enterprise Ireland and the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation, have introduced a €300m Brexit loan scheme to try to help eligible Irish companies to secure the resources they need.

The scheme, operated by Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland (S.B.C.I.), will provide the support required by SMEs to implement changes while preparing for Brexit.

The fund can be used to develop Business plans and to support new working capital requirements. Click here for more information https://bit.ly/2Qpd6sW
