Dublin South City Partnership promotes entrepreneurship and supports new business owners and self-employed to launch their businesses, as well as accessing the Back To Work Enterprise Allowance or the Short Term Enterprise Allowance. We coach clients through this process with a range of one-to-one supports and self-employment workshops, covering everything required, including continuous Start Your Own Business courses and targeting training in Accountancy, Manual Bookkeeping, Taxation, Sales & Marketing. We also deliver to micro and established businesses training on website content, SEO, Digital Marketing Strategies and E-commerce enablement. We offer SMEs advice on company formation for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies. If you are considering starting your own business or just want to know more about self-employment and want to develop that idea, we assist all micro-enterprises, including Pre-start up and Start. We also work with Social Entrepreneurs, Social Enterprises and community groups who are contemplating launching a social economy business. We specialise in supporting the founders / owners of pre-start-up and early start up social enterprises, whilst also working with developing and established local social enterprises in our communities. We encourage and champion them to build their own core competencies, business, governance skills and social capital whilst fostering their own networks and abilities. We also administer the Social Enterprise Small Grants Scheme and the Training and Mentoring Scheme, initiatives under the National Social Enterprise Policy for Ireland 2018-2022. Our enterprise experts provide mentoring, coaching and diverse referrals and signposting to relevant funding, state agencies and SME supports for our enterprise and social enterprise clients. Each year we empower 220 for profit and not-for profit businesses to establish in Dublin 6, Dublin 12 and Dublin 8, directly benefiting the local economy and community.
