At the SCCUL Enterprise Centre, Ballybane, we believe in providing local SME’s, social enterprises and community groups with the opportunity to develop and grow. Managed by SCCUL Enterprises CLG, the Centre provides affordable state-of-the-art infrastructure and support services.

Through the operation of a two-tier social inclusion model, as a not for profit, SCCUL uses income generated from commercial interactions to offset the cost associated with the provision of facilities and services to start-ups and social enterprises. The SCCUL Enterprise Centre strives to encourage the establishment and growth of start-ups and small businesses. The Centre offers affordable, high-quality enterprise space to individual enterprises, companies and social enterprises.

Aside from high quality affordable space we offer a number of supports to client companies and the wider enterprise ecosystem. Since 2010 SCCUL have engaged in offering soft supports by way of enterprise awards systems, mentoring, start-up programmes, networking events and one-off topical seminars.
