Businesses supported by the Local Enterprise Office in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown are being asked to complete an important annual survey before the deadline. The initiative will help inform future enterprise policy, employment planning and support for companies across the county.
The Local Enterprise Office Annual Employment and Development Survey 2026 opened on 28 September and is available to businesses that have previously been approved for funding. Eligible firms have until midnight on 4 November 2026 to submit their responses.
Dublin business survey supports future enterprise planning
The annual questionnaire is part of a nationwide reporting process carried out by Local Enterprise Offices. Information gathered by LEO Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown will be compiled for the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment.
Government departments and authorised state agencies use the findings to understand business performance, employment trends and development needs. The results can also contribute to decisions about enterprise supports and policies designed to encourage sustainable job creation.
For participating companies, the survey is designed to be straightforward and should take only a few minutes to complete. Businesses that received LEO funding are encouraged to ensure their details are up to date and submit the form before the closing date.

Why the survey matters for Dublin businesses
Reliable information from local companies gives policymakers a clearer picture of the challenges and opportunities facing the regional economy. It can help shape future assistance for entrepreneurs, small firms and growing enterprises.
For companies considering plans to expand, recruit or seek support, participation also ensures that the experience of funded businesses is reflected in wider economic planning. This is particularly relevant to the broader Dublin business community, where small and medium-sized enterprises play a significant role in local employment.
Businesses with questions about the process can contact the Local Enterprise Office at leo@dlrcoco.ie. The official survey access point is available through the Local Enterprise Office Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown.
