Company Performance Metrics
The Liffey Trust Limited was founded in 1984 to help create jobs by assisting potential entrepreneurs, community and other enterprise groups to become established.
It is structured as a company limited by guarantee having no share capital. It is a registered charity (CHY 6544).
The Trust when it was formed made a conscious management decision
to finance its activities and to develop its enterprise centre entirely by its own efforts and not seeking government financial help. The Trust is proud of its success in achieving this and becoming financially self-sufficient. The Trust believes that too many communities and other groups depend on State aid thereby limiting the resources available for other worthy and noble causes. The Trust has always seen itself, as an organisation that helps the work of other State help agencies such as IDA, FAS, Teagasc etc.
In all their literature from 1984 they have clearly stated that the Trust has identified the immediate and urgent requirements of new businesses which are not covered by State agencies.
