Growing a business in Ireland takes grit. But at a certain point, grit alone isn’t enough. You need capital, and you need it to be the right kind.

The problem? Most business owners default to two options: the bank (slow, selective, asset-focused) or equity (which means handing over a piece of what you’ve worked hard to build). Neither is always the right fit.

The good news is there’s more out there than most founders realise.

Kinore has joined forces with the team at Financefair for a practical webinar on the Irish funding gap. We walk through what the funding landscape in Ireland actually looks like in 2026, what options are available to growing businesses, and what you need to have in place to access them quickly.

This is a straight-talking session with useful information to help you make better decisions about how you fund your next stage of growth.


Why Watch?

In this session you’ll learn:

  • Why traditional bank funding often doesn’t work for high-growth Irish businesses
  • What the full Irish funding landscape looks like in 2026, from traditional lenders to alternative funders
  • How revenue-based finance, lines of credit, and selective invoice funding actually work in practice
  • The eligibility criteria most funders look for and how to make sure you qualify
  • What financial information you need to have ready before approaching any funder
  • How to structure your funding strategy to support growth without unnecessary risk

 

This webinar is ideal for:

  • Irish business owners and founders
  • Companies experiencing strong growth but finding their funding options limited
  • Founders who want to understand the full range of funding available in Ireland before making a decision
  • Business owners who’ve been told no by the bank or are reluctant to give away equity
