Tánaiste @LeoVaradkar has today announced the Micro-Enterprise Assistance Fund to help businesses with fewer than 10 employees which are ineligible for existing grants.

This provides a grant of up to €1,000 to help them adapt and invest to rebuild their business.
Tánaiste @LeoVaradkar made the announcement at @KildareLeisure in Naas.

"Now is the time to shop local and I encourage everyone to think of their local business owner when doing their weekly shop or looking to buy something.”
As part of the #JobsStimulus funding is also being increased to @Loc_Enterprise Offices to extend existing programmes, such as the ‘Lean for Micro’ programme to all businesses employing less than 10.
