      There is a substantial amount of state agency assistance available in the start-up arena. Here
      are the main sources of support to help you start to inform yourself of the journey ahead:


      Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) offer a wide range of advice, information and support to you in
      starting up or growing your business. This should be the first port of call for your start-up. They
      are a very experienced source of intelligence for start ups.  www.localenterprise.ie


      Enterprise Ireland (EI) supports new businesses with both advice and funding requirements.
      Their High Potential Start-Up (HPSU) program offers a range of such services to start-ups with
      great potential. The main criteria to access the HPSU program are based on key aspects of your
      business vision and plans. www.enterprise-ireland.com

      Bord Bia’s role is to promote Irish food and drinks abroad as well as in Ireland. It provides
      access to a range of valuable information sources for businesses starting up in the drinks
      sector. (www.bordbia.ie)
