SFA National Small Business Awards 2025: Finalists Announced [Video]

🏆 The finalists in the SFA National Business Awards 2025 have been officially announced by Sue O’Neill, Chair of the SFA Awards Judging Panel. The aim of the awards is to celebrate the achievements of small business in Ireland and to recognise the vital contribution of the small business sector to Irish industry.

The strong response to the awards programme highlights the resilience of Irish small businesses, who continue to put their best foot forward in seeking recognition for their hard work,” said Sue O’Neill. “In addition to our nine award categories, we’re also showcasing five outstanding Emerging New Businesses (established less than two years ago), and it’s clear that entrepreneurship is thriving across Ireland.”

“The Small Firms Association remains committed to celebrating the achievements of small business owners. With 273,000 small businesses employing almost half of Ireland’s private sector workforce, these awards shine a spotlight on excellence, innovation, and success across every sector and region of the country,” she added.

49 companies have been selected from 16 different counties, across ten categories.
