The Covid-19 Online Retail Scheme is open to eligible Irish-owned retail enterprises that had 10 or more employees on or before 29 February 2020 (or have grown to this level since then), have the potential to sustain or create jobs, generate growth in online transactions and have an ambition to internationalise their business in the future.
This competitive call has a budget of €5m which will be funded from the Pandemic Stabilisation and Recovery Fund. Successful applicants will receive a grant ranging from €10,000 to a maximum of €40,000 – covering up to 80% of project costs.
IRP retail clients have already availed of this scheme and launched their new ecommerce store as a result – see Best Menswear Retail Scheme Success.
