Self-employed and thinking about a mortgage?

If you’re a founder, contractor, freelancer, sole trader or business owner, the mortgage process can look a little different. Income is assessed differently. Timelines matter. The right documents matter.

That’s why we’re hosting Get Mortgage Ready at PorterShed with AIB’s mortgage team, in partnership with the Local Enterprise Office Galway and The Galway Chamber

A practical lunchtime session for self-employed people and founders who want to understand what banks look for before the mortgage process begins.

📍 PorterShed Market Street | Wednesday, 24 June | 12:00 - 1PM

Email marketing is 40 times more effective in reaching your target market than almost any other form of marketing communication, and it can be done for a fraction of the cost of many other tactics.

The buying process happens three times faster than social media.

This is particularly true, now that the cost of online advertising has become more expensive and the space so more crowded.

This workshop will help you understand the importance of email marketing, and how to implement an effective email marketing strategy on a budget.
