Final call for Greenshoots

Bobby Kerr, off the telly, at the launch in Macroom.

Have you been sitting around tooting five skinners for the last six months after being laid off? In the midst of a moment of clarity have you come up with a unique business idea but haven't the foggiest how to put it into practice?

You could be a budding entrepreneur so are you ready to start your own business?

The new greenshoots programme at Macroom E Business Centre, Macroom can offer ten successful applicants a 9 month business launch-pad – a free office pod; business training; mentoring; coaching; access to office services and advice and the benefits of working amongst peer entrepreneurs and a large network of business contacts.

The ambition is that at the end of the 9 month programme, participants would be ready to set sail with a solid and successful business. This programme is funded by South Cork Enterprise Board and Cork County Council and is offered free of charge to successful candidates.

The programme is ideally suited to anyone who has a viable business idea that they are ready to work on.
