BusinessLoans.ie is celebrating International Women’s Day. The theme this year is #ChooseToChallenge. We choose to challenge the imbalance of lending & investment in female-founded companies. Looking back over the past year & the finance we have helped with, the majority of the loans were for businesses owned and run by men. We need to work harder on being more accessible and are setting a goal to overcome this.

We did help some great female-founded businesses though. Our favourite was a loan for a uniforms business during the pandemic. They were pivoting from their usual hotel uniforms business to helping our nurses and medical professionals battling Covid19 by importing & manufacturing gear to keep them safe.

Wherever you’re at with your entrepreneurship journey there’s help at hand. Check out these 5 essential supports for female entrepreneurs in Ireland. Throughout 2021 we would love to help more female founders in Ireland with business loans to grow their business. We are happy to set up a Zoom and discuss loans as well as help with any useful connections, finance or otherwise, in our network. Get in touch today.
