Can any body help me? I am setting up my own business and I am trying to find out where I can find people who are interested in doing the same. Are there any groups or websites that would provide this? THanks

I think you'll have to be a little more specific- are you looking for Enterprise Ireland? Are you looking for other entrepreneurs? What area of business are you in? Do you want some sort of start-your-own-business support group? Are you looking for the local County Enterprise Boards? A 'group or website' that will help you set up the 2003 version of the DeLorean car plant is likely to be slightly different to setting up your own Statoil Petrol Station! If you can provide a little more information we might be able to provide a little more assistance. Also this thread probably belongs better in the Society- Business/Economy/Finance section.

Anyway, here's a website to keep you going www.enterprise-ireland.com

Thanks dod. Enterprise Ireland is not what I am looking for. I am looking for other entrepeneurs to discuss issues, problems etc. I am looking for people who want to make the same change I have done by moving into the realm of the self employed. I am in the telecommunications end of things.

It would be a lot easier to provide you with an informed reply if you provided us with at least some information on what sort of assistance you are looking for.

Sounds like your looking for some kind of entrepreneurs club.

Closest thing I can think of is http://www.bni.com/
