The Business Loans team have a lot to celebrate today. In the past year we have helped female entrepreneurs with loans to help their businesses grow. The most memorable loan was for a uniform supplier whose hospitality debtors left her on the hook for a lot of money during the pandemic but she pivoted to medical and protective equipment and needed finance to get stock in from China. Her business performed well due to her level-headed business decision to adapt to the situation. So today it’s hats off to all the great female entrepreneurs in Ireland. The Local Enterprise Office is a great resource for business owners in Ireland and you can see more of what the day is about here.
Happy International Women's Day from BusinessLoans.ie
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.
