Small and medium enterprises in Ireland were guaranteed an independent voice in 1993 when ISME - the Irish Small and Medium Enterprises Association - was formed.

It has been successfully filling its role as the Independent Business Organisation because, uniquely, it relies on the resources of its members and not those of big business.

ISME offers a comprehensive range of advisory services and training/development programmes designed to enhance the day-to-day running of businesses.

The tax deductable membership is a cost-effective way for SME owner/managers to network with like minded business people and to be continually updated on issues that can impact on their business.
