Find business support for your own council area
A free-to-search official directory separates support by business size, stage, sector and council.
The nibusinessinfo Business Support Finder collects publicly funded and not-for-profit assistance for Northern Ireland businesses. Support can include financial help and free or subsidised advice; it is not limited to cash grants.
Filters include all 11 council areas, businesses that have not started trading, new and established businesses, and micro businesses with fewer than ten employees. Sector and business-need filters help narrow a broad list to relevant options.
A listing is a route to the provider's eligibility rules, rather than a guarantee of an award. Check the individual scheme's conditions and application dates before making plans around it.
