It’s been a tough couple of years for Irish companies, but no one should still be in pandemic panic mode. Between Covid and Brexit, it’s been a time for rethinking how we do business — and we’re doing more and more of that business online.

There’s been a rapid gear change to digital-first in virtually all sectors worldwide, and Ireland is no different. The.IE Domain Profile Report 2021 showed a 28% rise in new .ie business registrations between 2019 and the first half of 2021. And since 2016, the number of business registrations has jumped by 86%.

The good news?  If you’re one of the thousands of Irish companies who share these long-term digital goals, Enterprise Ireland has a range of excellent grants to help you.

Hundreds of Irish companies got a lifeline in 2020 and 2021 through State grants, and if you’re a retailer who still hasn’t explored this avenue, make it your New Year’s resolution to find a grant that transforms your business in 2022. Whether you need funds for business planning, website development or a new booking system, there’s a State grant for you.

But where to start? Here’s a breakdown of three Enterprise Ireland grants that can take your business to the next level. Find out whether you’re eligible, how much you can claim, and how to write an application that judges can’t refuse.
