Tánaiste and Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Frances Fitzgerald TD, together with Minister of State for Trade, Employment, Business, EU Digital Single Market and Data Protection, Pat Breen TD, recently launched the “Taking care of business” event.
This free event for existing and potential entrepreneurs will take place on Wednesday, 8th November in the Printworks Conference Centre in Dublin Castle.
The event is specifically targeted at people thinking of starting a business, as well as small business owners and managers, in order to help them:
- better understand the main 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; and,
- find out about advice and supports that are available from the public sector.
The half-day event will open at 8.30am. This free initiative of the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation will bring together up to 30 State bodies, agencies and units in one location; the event will be an excellent opportunity for entrepreneurs, business owners and managers to learn about the broad range of advice and support that is available.
The State offices and agencies represented will provide information across a wide range of areas, including:
- tax, employment and Health & Safety obligations;
- Legal requirements for setting up and running a company;
- requirements in areas such as food and environmental safety; and
- assistance and supports from enterprise agencies.
