Answer
The number of potential hospitality sector start-up businesses that received Invest NI financial support in each of the last three full financial years is outlined in the table below:
| Year | No of Hospitality Start-up Businesses Supported |
| 2011/12 | 1 |
| 2012/13 | 1 |
| 2013/14 | 0 |
| Total | 2 |
Notes
Each start-up business is counted in the financial year when it received its first package of financial support from Invest NI.
It is worth noting that in line with European and National guidelines, particularly due to issues with displacement, Invest NI is, in the vast majority of cases, limited to the provision of advisory support to companies operating within the hospitality sector.
