About Us

NextStep Business Solutions helps Irish SMEs access the funding they need to start, grow, or transform their business. Whether it’s through government grants, Microfinance Ireland, SBCI-backed products, or bank loans, we provide expert, practical support to help business owners navigate the process and secure the right funding.

We don’t act as brokers or credit intermediaries — our role is in preparation. We work with clients to make sure their applications are well-structured, clearly justified, and aligned with what funders and lenders are looking for. That means helping with business plans, financial projections, funding narratives, and identifying any gaps or risks that could hold a business back.

Led by Rob Meehan — who has over 20 years’ experience in SME lending across Bank of Ireland, Ulster Bank and PTSB — we know how to present a business in the strongest possible light.

We also partner with accountants, business advisors and funders who need a trusted expert to support their clients before an application goes in.

If you’re unsure what funding is available, how to approach it, or want to make sure your business is funder-ready — NextStep can help.
