Information

This workshop provides a broad and practical examination of exactly what factors really do have an influence on how an online business is developed. It also provides a thorough grounding in the skills needed to make informed decisions about developing an online business.

Aimed at a non-technical, business audience; the scheme focuses on giving participants the skills to develop their own online business with a view to attracting their target market and making sales.

The Government is rolling out a €5 million Trading Online Voucher Scheme to enable 2,000 small businesses to embrace the digital economy and increase sales, exports and ultimately jobs.  Under the scheme, vouchers of up to €2,500 (matched by business own investment) will be available to small businesses who demonstrate that they have a credible plan to get trading online.

The vouchers can be used to pay for things such as:

• IT consultation
• development or upgrade of an e-commerce website
• implementing online payments or booking systems
• the purchase of Internet related software.

Application for a voucher is made through a Local Enterprise Office. Vouchers are awarded on a competitive basis and a number of information events have been held around the country to assist applicants and highlight the importance of online trading. Find your Local Enterprise Office here.
