Success Story
Padraig Murphy, aged 24, is just one of the loan recipients in Northern Ireland aged under 25, who has taken his dream business and turned it into a reality.

From his home in Whitecross, County Armagh, Padraig launched a business which specialises in thoughtfully designed and carefully crafted golf apparel.
I have loved golf all of my life and launching a business so closely aligned to the sport has been thoroughly enjoyable.
Applying for the Start Up Loan with Enterprise Northern Ireland was a straightforward process and the cashflow has enabled me to fast-forward my business. It’s something I would certainly recommend to others.
The loan has helped me research and source suppliers, invest in stock and get a marketing team on board. Before the Start Up Loan I had been trying to finance the business myself, which was slow, getting the loan really has helped things speed up.
