BORD Bia has launched a €400,000 Fund to Boost Small Business Growth

 

The ‘Step Change Programme’, targeting small food, drink and horticulture businesses, was launched today. It is aimed at companies with a turnover of between €100,000 and €5m that want to take their business to the next level. In 2015, Bord Bia expects the ‘Step Change Programme’ will benefit at least eight high potential Irish businesses with individual grants of up to €50,000. Minister of the State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Minister Tom Hayes told delegates at the launch: “Ireland needs entrepreneurs. We have to have risk takers who will venture out and set up businesses that directly contribute to economic recovery. “Your company’s growth underpins the wider local community and the image of Ireland as a provider of high quality, innovative and sustainable food and drink excellence. Bord Bia and the support agencies are on hand not just today but through your various stages of growth.”

Scenarios:

Yes Avid Partners have two divisions of the company. We have an accountancy division that handles your day to day financial necessities and we also have an advisory division to assist companies develop their businesses. This can include consultancy, marketing and guidance when required. We can act as a Chairperson for your organisation if required and can also take away some of the day to day pressures that can restrict growth and slow development. Avid Partners can help with both of the critical aspects of a company, keeping costs down as much as possible and growing revenues exponentially. Technology companies need patience in developing their visions and an involved day to day partner is the best way of keeping a good business balance.
It is a common problem for companies who are in a situation where their business is growing in real terms (users, visitors) but sales is not matching the other growth metrics as traditionally sales lags behind growth (Twitter, Linked In, etc). So what do you do? Every business needs access to finance to pay operating costs which gives the company time to develop future revenue streams. Thankfully the situation is getting better with many tech friendly finance options coming on stream such as micro financing, crowd funding and government agencies are also starting to show support interests.
Every company starts out small with very limited resources at the beginning of the project. The key is to make the most from the resources you have and to seek out alliances, support systems and working partners. Start ups face many challenges including access to capital, regulatory requirements, economies of scale. We can help you develop your concept and will assist in every way possible from accountancy and day to day support to advisory services and raising finance. We can assist in a number of ways and have a portfolio of growing small companies that we help on an on-going basis.
