Hi,

Anybody care to take a rough estimate at the number of Business' in the SME sector.

2 - 10 / 5 -15 employee's.

Looking for some data to back up a Business plan.

I can find lot's of data on CSO.ie / The Enterprise Board Websites / Bank of Ireland etc etc on new start ups in Dublin per year for the last x amount of years.

But I'm just looking for a rough total figure.

As in there are x,000 SMEs in the greater Dublin City area.

Some sort of reference material would be also good!
