Our General Election Manifesto

Ireland is a nation of small businesses, around 98% of businesses operating in Ireland are defined as small. Small firms are in every village, town and city, they are the beating heart of our communities and the life blood of Ireland’s economy.

This manifesto sets out key policy proposals that the SFA wants the next government to adopt. It has sought temporary measures to ensure the survival for small firms while facilitating entrepreneurship.

Crucially, the SFA wants the next Government to adopt a long-term approach to foster economic success for the small business community.
