MICROFINANCE IRELAND

Microfinance Ireland is a Dublin-based, government-backed lender that helps small-business owners across the Republic secure the finance they need when traditional banks say no. Specialising in short-term business loans from €2,000 up to €50,000, MFI offers a competitive 6.5 % interest rate and a fast credit decision-typically within ten working days-so entrepreneurs can keep momentum on start-ups, expansions or urgent cash-flow gaps.

The organisation provides a clear, step-by-step loan pathway, from an online interest registration and a simple document checklist to a dedicated application portal and personal support from Local Enterprise Office mentors. In addition to financing, Microfinance Ireland runs regular webinars and events, offers a free loan-repayment calculator, and supplies an information pack that demystifies the whole process. With a track record of thousands of loans approved, hundreds of jobs supported and millions of euros of funding delivered, MFI positions itself as a trusted ally for Irish SMEs seeking flexible, transparent funding solutions.
