Council scheme helps 350 businesses Go For It
A START-UP programme run by Belfast City Council helped get 350 businesses off the ground in the last year.
The Go For It programme – part funded by Invest Northern Ireland and the European Regional Development Fund – provides practical support and advice for would-be business owners and guides them through the process of writing a business plan. The programme helped Nichola Daly, Director of Daly Recruitment, to start her business.
She said: “Go For It provided me with a business plan and through regular mentoring sessions I’ve developed the confidence I need to drive my business forward. It’s also armed me with the financial understanding I need to operate profitably. I’m very grateful to the team at Ormeau Business Park for their invaluable support.”
Patricia Mcneill, Manager of Ormeau Business Park said: “Daly Recruitment is an excellent example of the growing number of entrepreneurs availing of support through the Go For It business ecosystem to start and successfully launch her business in Belfast.
“Ormeau Business Park start-up client Nichola Daly has seized the moment in the thriving NI hospitality sector to provide a professional, experienced service that since launching in June of this year, is already growing as the key recruitment specialist with industry professionals.”
