Enterprise Fund to Open for Applications on 11 May 2026
Early‑stage businesses across the Causeway Coast and Glens will soon have the opportunity to apply for support through the Enterprise Fund, which officially opens at 9am on Monday 11 May 2026.
The fund is designed to help young businesses (those trading for two years or less) overcome barriers to growth and accelerate their development. Eligible applicants can seek support for a wide range of growth‑focused activities, including investment in new equipment, improvements to I.T. infrastructure, product or design development, and significant marketing initiatives.
Guidance notes for the programme are now available, giving businesses the chance to review criteria and prepare their applications ahead of the opening date.
We know from previous experience that early engagement with the guidance helps ensure that applications are well‑prepared and meet eligibility requirements once the application window opens.
