The contribution that small businesses make to the economy in Fingal is hugely important and forms the bedrock of local employment and trade.

In recognition of this contribution, Fingal County Enterprise Board is delighted to sponsor the “Best Small Business Award” in this year’s Fingal Business Awards.

County Enterprise Boards (CEBs) are government funded agencies operating throughout the Republic of Ireland, charged with the responsibility for the provision of a wide range of practical supports and assistance to small businesses.

The supports available from Fingal CEB include financial assistance, management development programmes, business advice and information, mentoring, business networks, E-Commerce programme, First-time Exporter programme, business promotion opportunities etc.

The proliferation of an “Entrepreneurial culture” is fundamental to the long term interests of Fingal. The CEB plays a core role in the development of a society in which entrepreneurs are given the encouragement and assistance they need to grow small businesses and build prosperity for the local economy.  

Fingal CEB encourages all owner/managers of small businesses who are proud of their products, services and achievements to compete for this award and may the Best Small Business win!
