As Ireland enters the second phase in the road to recovery, Fingal Local Enterprise Office (LEO) continues to proactively adapt its online offering to the aid the process of restarting the local economy.
Due to unprecedented demand for Trading Online Voucher (TOV) Scheme since COVID-19; with over 400 applications received from March to June in Fingal alone, the national total budget for the TOV Scheme has now increased by almost 1000% from €2m to €20m.
Applications for the Restart Grant which will give direct grant aid to micro and small businesses to help them with the costs associated with either staying open or reopening and reemploying workers following COVID-19 closures are being accepted from today, Friday, May 22.
The Return to Work Safely Protocol was issued Saturday 9th May, aimed at supporting businesses in preventing the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace as the economy begins to open up again.
Networking has always been an important aspect of business for Fingal’s enterprising women. Current circumstances mean that we’ve had to find innovative ways of creating and maintaining those valuable business connections.
