Ecommerce Website Grants Ireland
No matter how appealing your products/ services or their large target audience, at times expanding your company’s reach can be difficult and obtaining the required equipment, software, expertise etc. can be expensive. Thankfully, there are multiple grants available to Irish SME’s and start-ups which provide the necessary financial support to enable company growth. Many of these grants place emphasis on expanding the companies’ digital presence through web design and digital marketing, with the end goal of enabling the company to reach a wider audience, potentially infringing upon new markets.
In recent years, there has been a huge increase in the use of digital technology and transactions which previously took place in person have shifted online. As a result, the number of online users has significantly increased, therefore, having a strong digital presence by developing an informative, user friendly website and implementing targeted digital marketing techniques is now essential for company growth. At first glance, this may seem time consuming and somewhat daunting. Thankfully, the range of grants available to Irish SME’s and start-ups provide the financial support to enable your company to seek expert advice if required, facilitating your steps towards an increased digital approach.

The Digitalisation Voucher aims to help companies create a plan to increase the amount of digital tools and techniques used in their business. The voucher allows companies to gain advice from independent technical or advisory services related to the current and future operations of their business.
