Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation

The Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) are the first-stop-shop for providing advice and guidance, financial assistance and soft supports such as training and mentoring to anyone wishing to start or grow a business.

The LEOs can offer direct grant aid to microenterprises (10 employees or fewer) in the manufacturing and internationally traded services sectors which, over time, have the potential to develop into strong export entities. Subject to certain eligibility criteria, the LEOs can provide financial assistance within three main categories: Feasibility Grants (investigating the potential of a business idea); Priming Grants (to part-fund a start-up); and Business Development Grants for existing businesses that want to expand.

The targets/performance for each LEO for the years 2016 and 2017, and the targets for January to June 2018 are shown in the tables.

In a small number of cases relating to the year 2016 LEOs had not established annual targets this is denoted by an * in the tables.
