Deadline for Trading Online Voucher applications is the 6th of December 2024.

Only fully filled in and signed application forms will be accepted and assessed. Incomplete applications won't be assessed.

Consumer behaviour is changing and online spending is increasing rapidly. There is a big opportunity for Irish businesses to grow and access a wider market, expand their business and create more jobs. Statistics suggest that only 32% of small companies are engaged in e-commerce sales in Ireland and that 70% of the €850,000 spent online by Irish consumers per hour is going overseas.

The ‘Trading Online Voucher’ scheme, financed by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, aims to encourage small businesses to develop their online presence through a website or digital marketing strategy by availing of a Trading Online Voucher of up to €2,500 or 50% of their eligible expenditure. Businesses looking to apply for the voucher must be trading for a minimum of 6 months to qualify and be located in County Wicklow.

This seminar will help participants to understand and determine the best approach to establish and increase their online presence and trade online. Applicants for the Trading Online Voucher must attend one of these TOV Information Seminars.
