The Magazine

Ireland is a nation of small and medium sized enterprises. These businesses make up 95% of all trading entities and employ over 80% of the workforce.

 

The country is currently enjoying the benefits of a decade of sustained economic growth. It boasts higher numbers in employment than at any time since the birth of the State and has living standards, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP) and gross national product (GNP) per capita, which exceed the European Union average. The Economic and Social Research Institute projects an average annual GNP growth rate of 5.4% for the Irish economy for the second half of this decade.

 

SMEs play a very significant role in Ireland’s economic prosperity and expansion. Running Your Business, which was launched in 1995, is the only publication in Ireland that has been designed and written to promote the specific needs of SMEs, their owners and managers. The magazine is to the forefront in advancing the cause of small and medium sized enterprises, with high quality and relevant how-to articles, written from the owner/managers point of view.
