Financial foundations for food entrepreneurs

Food entrepreneurs in Kildare are being offered a practical opportunity to strengthen the financial foundations of their businesses at an upcoming event hosted by the Local Enterprise Office (LEO) Kildare. The location will be the Athy Food, Drinks and AgriTech Hub, on 21 April.

The session, aimed at both start-ups and growing food businesses, will focus on helping owners to build clear financial strategies, understand funding options, and plan for sustainable growth.

The meet-up is open to entrepreneurs launching new food products, opening cafés, or expanding catering and food service operations. Participants will be guided through key financial decisions that can determine the long-term success and viability of their ventures.

Speakers include John Nugent of Bord Bia, Ellen Ní Cleirigh, Senior Development Advisor at Enterprise Ireland, and members of the LEO Kildare Grant Team. They will outline the range of funding supports available, eligibility criteria, and the application process for business owners seeking to invest in growth.

The event is designed to give food entrepreneurs a clearer picture of their financial position and the external supports that can help them scale.
