The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the Irish and global economy. COVID-19 has emerged as a sudden and profound disruptor. Both globally and nationally it is unclear how deep the impact will be or how long it will last. I have introduced a range of supports for businesses to support them through the crisis and the take up of supports can be accessed on my Department's website at: https://dbei.gov.ie/en/Publications/Take-up-of-DBEI-COVID-19-Business-Supports.html.
Enterprise Ireland on behalf of the Department of Business Enterprise and Innovation have launched new COVID-19 supports for enterprise which utilise a number of financial instruments including grants. The breakdown of grants approved and paid by county is attached, please note companies approved grants must incur the cost before they can claim payment from Enterprise Ireland. This results in a delay between approval and payment of a grant.
InterTradeIreland launched two new business supports, these are currently being targeted at companies who are already on one of their programs. E-merge enables companies to engage consultancy support & advice (to the value of £2500/€2800) to help them develop online sales & ecommerce solutions.
Emergency Business Solutions: Fully funded consultancy support & advice (to the value of £2000/€2250) to address key business challenges in areas such as emergency cashflow, loan applications and HR/People. InterTradeIreland are not in a position to provide a county breakdown at this point.
All Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation grant supports are detailed as follows.
