Dell employees asked to consider starting their own business
Joseph brought this to our attention, a blog from Limerick Open Coffee Club where there is an offer to Dell employees of free start-up advice if they wish to use their redundancy money to go into business for themselves.
To make a start I am following Sensorpro’s Chris Byrne example by offering free start-up advice to any of the Dell employees who believe that this is NOT the end and who would like to find out more about starting their own business. Assisting these people (and others) to create their own employment and also create jobs for others will hopefully create a solid base of Irish owned businesses. These businesses in general will not move to lower wage countries at the first rise in national wage standards. It will also lead to a more solid and dependable base of employment. After all the IDA spent millions (if not more) over the last few decades on attracting foreign owned companies to Ireland. These companies will move to lower cost countries as soon as it make sense to their bottom line. Directing some funds towards creating a healthy start-up environment will have a long term positive effect on this countries economy.
