When Kerry woman Olivia Buckley established her eponymous event planning company, she had €20k saved. Half of that went into building her website and a launch party, leaving her with €10k for all her overheads.

“I started Olivia Buckley International with the little money I had in my back pocket. I had no loans, no grant. I was putting the stamps on the envelopes going out with the invoices. I was single, I was doing it all on my own.”
