Financing
$45,000 small business loan
Tir Na nOg Mugs & Metals previously received and fully repaid a $20,000 loan with Rising Tide used to purchase metal fabrication equipment. Owner and operator Martina Gillespie reached out again as she expanded her vision beyond a coffee shop to create a vibrant space that pairs fresh brews with handcrafted metal art. With Rising Tide’s support, Tir Na nOg Mugs & Metals secured $45,000 for the equipment and furnishings needed to open its brick‑and‑mortar location.
