To support small Irish businesses to enhance their online trading presence, Trading Online Vouchers to the value of €2,500 (up to a maximum of 50% of the total cost) are now available to Donegal Businesses through a programme under the Government’s National Digital Strategy and delivered through the Local Enterprise Offices.

With the trend ever increasing towards online spending it is estimated that only 23% of small Irish businesses are engaged in any meaningful way in eCommerce sales. For businesses employing less than ten people this percentage could be even lower.  It is now believed that of online purchases made in Ireland that 70% of these are done in overseas markets.

There is now an urgency to ensure that businesses recognise that this is happening and that they are encouraged and supported to correctly respond to this digital reality.

Attendance at an Information Session is required prior to submission of an application. Vouchers will be available to a maximum value of €2,500 or 50% of eligible expenditure, whichever is the lesser.
