Business funding in Ireland

Ireland has a concentrated banking sector, which means non-bank lenders play an outsized role for SMEs and mid-market companies. Invoice discounting, asset finance, and specialist property lending fill much of the space the pillar banks leave open.

Preparing an Irish request

Filed CRO accounts, management figures, bank statements, a debtor listing and confirmation of Revenue compliance make up the standard pack. Where the company trades in both euro and sterling, show the split — it directly affects which facility currency makes sense.

Property and development

Investment and development lending is served by both domestic and UK-based specialists. Exits are underwritten hard, and planning status drives leverage more than any other single factor.

Questions

Can an Irish company borrow in sterling?

Yes, where it earns sterling revenue. Currency-matched facilities remove translation risk and are widely available.

Are non-bank lenders regulated?

Providers operate under the applicable Irish and EU regimes for their activity. We confirm the regulatory status of every provider before introducing a transaction.

Describe your requirement once and we structure it, then approach providers active in Ireland whose criteria match. There are no upfront fees — all charges are due only once funding is in place.
