The Trading Online Voucher is an incentive that was rolled out in 2015 with great success and is now running again for 2020. It’s aim is to support small Irish businesses to enhance their online trading presence.
To this end, the Department of Communications, Climate Action & Environment (DCCAE) launched a Trading Online Voucher Scheme and have teamed up with the Local Enterprise Offices (LEO) to deliver this to Irish businesses. It offers financial assistance of up to €2,500 with co-funding of 10% from the business* to help your business trade online. Cutting the cost of developing your online trading capacity by up to 90% can make this investment very affordable for many small businesses out there.*
With the trend ever increasing towards online spending it is essential that small Irish businesses are engaged in a meaningful way in eCommerce sales. Previous voucher recipients may apply for a second voucher.
*For applications received from April 7th 2020 until September 30th 2020. Further eligibility, terms and conditions apply.
**The applicant business must provide clear proof of trading for a minimum of 6 months to their Local Enterprise Office.
Applications are now being accepted. Vouchers will be available to a maximum value of €2,500 or 90% of eligible expenditure (exclusive of VAT), whichever is the lesser.

* A brochure website is digital version of a printed brochure. They show the products or services your company provides, however, unlike an e-commerce website, they do not sell the product or service online or have an interactive booking function. With a brochure website, the goods and services are only displayed, so customers will have to contact the company to place an order.
