Jobs Minister Richard Bruton, together with Business and Employment Minister Gerald Nash today launched a one-stop-shop event for SMEs, start-ups and potential entrepreneurs called ‘Taking Care of Business’.

This free event will take place on Thursday 16th October in the Printworks Conference Centre in Dublin Castle. The half-day event is specifically targeted at people thinking of starting a business as well as small business owners and managers.

Attending the event will allow entrepreneurs to:

· Better understand the key regulations that affect them so that they can focus on the main task of running their business;

· Meet experts from a broad range of public bodies in an informal setting;

· Find out about advice and supports that are available from across the public sector.

Minister Bruton said:

"Taking Care of Business" is part of a wider effort to communicate better with business and promote awareness and understanding of the full range of Government supports that are available for start-ups and the SME sector.

This event will allow small business owners to informally ask questions and get advice from a diverse mix of government agencies. I urge businesses to take part and look forward to being involved on 16th October.
