Hi,

I heard that you can get a percentage of PAYE paid in the last 4 years as a grant to start up a business. I can't find anything on it. Can anyone point me to a good link.

Also FAS used to offer start your own business grants to people who are on the dole - the grant was roughly equivalent to dole payments. I couldn't find any mention of that on the FAS website. Has anyone any experience of that?

I think it is called the seed capital scheme: tax refunds for new enterprises- Check revenue site form it15 [broken link removed]

Lots of conditions to qualify.
 
Thanks for that. Lots of conditions all right but all doable - as long as you've paid PAYE for past 4 years.

Be careful! - you could spend weeks doing the paperwork, and still not get the money. In the meantime your viable business goes bust.
