It's not just the overhead that they're looking for. They want to know that you have the money to start and maintain the business and that that business will produce enough revenue to support not only you but your employees. The Irish goverment is big on welcoming anyone into the country as long as you don't "become a burden" on the resourses for citizens.

: thanks for your reply Ariel! That helps a
: lot. The thing that I have really going for
: me is that the type of business that I'd
: like to start requires very little overhead
: and start up costs. I am hoping that I will
: be able to prove to them that I can make it
: work without a ton of money. Thanks again
: for the help!

: May be you want to read this so you come

: Q.15 I am not an EU citizen. What must I
: do before starting a business in Ireland?
: A non-EU resident who plans to establish a
: business in Ireland must apply to the
: Department of Justice, Equality and Law
: Reform with:
: � Evidence to satisfy the Department that
: he/she has sufficient funding available.
: � A business plan.
: � Details of professional or trade
: qualifications, where these are relevant to
: the proposed business.
: � A "certificate of character"
: from the police authority in their home
: state, to confirm that they do not have a
: criminal record, etc.
:
: In addition, the proposed business must
: employ at least two non-family members, who
: must be Irish or EU nationals. Work permits
: are not required for non-EU nationals who
: establish a business, though they may be
: required for any staff who move with the
: business.

: Hello,
: I am going to be leaving for Ireland in a
: little less than a month. Here is my
: situation. I am not an Irish citizen, nor
: are either of my parents or grandparents.
: So, because I am unable to claim
: citizenship, I am planning on starting a
: homebased bakery/cooking school while I am
: there. I've been reading some of the posts
: on the complexities of trying to find a way
: to legally work and stay in Ireland, so I am
: thinking that this will be the best way for
: me. Has anyone ever done something like
: this? (started up a business from scratch in
: Ireland?) Or, do you know if this is even
: possible? I will be there for 6 weeks, and
: I have friends over there who are going to
: be doing all that they can to help me file
: the necessary forms and meet the right
: people so that I can get this thing off the
: ground. Do you think that I am basically
: looking at failure here, or is there any
: possibility that this can be done? Any help
: and advice that anyone out there can give
: will be very much appreciated!
