Who We Are

Microfinance Ireland, is a not-for-profit lender, established to deliver the Government’s Microenterprise Loan Fund.

This fund was put in place to support small businesses with less than 10 employees and with an annual turnover of less than €2 million who may be having difficulties accessing funding for their business from banks and other commercial lenders. Helping to create and sustain employment by providing business loans to small businesses is at the heart of what we do.
