THE National Self Employed 97 Information Fair is to take place in Tallaght this weekend. The fair is aimed at all those running or about to start up a service or product to a small business. Last year's fair attracted more than 12,500 people involved in the small business sector.

The multi storey car park in The Square, Tallaght, will be converted into an exhibition centre for the two day fair. There will be information on grants, exporting, venture capital, taxation, patents, pension plans, employee law, franchises, business opportunities and more, according to the organisers.
