Are you trying to get your business off the ground?

Fredericks Foundation is a charitable organization that aids disadvantaged people who aspire to run their own business but are unable to obtain the necessary finance, through the usual channels to do so due to issues resulting from poverty, disability, long-term unemployment, or even a criminal record. The Frederick foundation facilitates people and helps them rebuilding their confidence as well as self esteem. Consequently help them realise their potential for the benefit of themselves and their families.

Fredericks Foundation has yet branched out to assist existing companies in need of finance who are unable to obtain it from their banks. The Fredericks foundation charity is funded through a number of different ways, including substantial donations from its founder, Paul Barry-Walsh on a regular basis.
