Is there an official federation of small businesses in Northern Ireland?

There may be a federation of Northern Ireland small businesses, but if so it is not officially announced as one, and there may be more than one for different areas of expertise. To find help for your business outside of a federation of businesses you may wish to look for financial assistance from the government such as a grant or a loan offered in your area. There are federal choices as well if you are not able to find something you can use in Northern Ireland. To get more advice or information you can complete the form on the website or call us at UKStartups.org, 020 3880 8554.
