In today’s digital age, having a strong online presence is crucial for business success. As a business owner, you might be wondering how to take your company to the next level in the digital world. That’s where the Trading Online Voucher Scheme comes in – a valuable resource designed to help businesses like yours thrive online.
What is the Trading Online Voucher Scheme?
It’s a government-backed initiative offered by Local Enterprise Offices across Ireland. The scheme provides financial assistance to small businesses looking to enhance their online capabilities. With up to €2,500 available in matched funding, it’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
Who’s eligible?
Most small businesses that don’t currently operate online will qualify. Generally speaking – businesses should have 10 or fewer employees, have been trading for at least 6 months, and have an annual turnover of less than €2 million – although there is always some flexibility so if you don’t meet one of these criteria, please don’t immediately disqualify yourself without talking to a member at your local enterprise office first.
What can the voucher be used for?
- The scheme covers a wide range of digital enhancements, including:
- Developing an e-commerce website,
- Implementing online payment or booking systems,
- Creating digital marketing campaigns,
- Developing mobile apps,
- Implementing content management systems,
- Improving business processes through ICT,
- Training and skills development for online trading,
Why is this important for your business?
In an increasingly digital marketplace, having a strong online presence can help you:
- Reach new customers,
- Increase sales,
- Improve efficiency,
- Stay competitive in your industry,
The best part? If you successfully implement your first voucher, you may be eligible for a second one, allowing you to continue growing your digital capabilities.
