How much is the Grow Digital Voucher worth?

The Grow Digital Voucher covers 50% of eligible costs, with a minimum grant of €500 and a maximum of €5,000. A business can receive up to two vouchers, but the combined maximum grant across both is €5,000.

Who qualifies for the Grow Digital Voucher?

To qualify, your business must have 1–50 paid employees, have completed a Digital for Business project through your LEO within the last two years, have been trading for at least 6 months, be registered in a LEO area, hold current tax clearance from Revenue, and not be a client of Enterprise Ireland or IDA Ireland. Sole traders and partnerships are eligible.

Does the Grow Digital Voucher cover website development?

It covers subscription-based website platforms that are new to your business — not bespoke custom website development. A web agency charging a one-off project fee for a custom build is not eligible. A subscription-based platform with an annual subscription fee and setup cost is eligible.

Can I apply if I already have a website?

Yes, as long as the software you're applying for is new to your business. Moving from a static website to a subscription platform with booking and menu management qualifies, because the new platform is a different product from what you had before.

Do I need to apply before spending money on the software?

Yes — this is critical. Costs incurred before your application is received by the LEO are not eligible, with no exceptions. Always apply and receive written approval before paying your software provider anything.

How long does Grow Digital Voucher approval take?

Timelines vary by LEO and application volume. Ask your local office when you submit. Some LEOs process applications within a few weeks; others may take longer. Don't commit to any spending until you have written approval.

Can I get the Grow Digital Voucher twice?

Yes — up to two voucher projects per business, but the combined maximum grant across both is €5,000. The second application must demonstrate progress from the first project.

I'm a sole trader in Ireland — do I qualify for the voucher?

Yes. Self-employed individuals, sole traders, and partnerships all qualify under the scheme, provided you meet the trading, registration, employee count, and tax clearance requirements.

Grow Digital Voucher 2026 — Up to €5,000 for Your Website

Q: What is the Grow Digital Voucher?

The Grow Digital Voucher is a government grant scheme administered by Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs) in Ireland. It covers 50% of eligible digital costs for small businesses, with a minimum grant of €500 and a maximum of €5,000. It applies to subscription-based software platforms — including websites, online booking systems, e-commerce tools, and CRM software — that are new to your business.

Q: What is the Digital for Business project?

The Digital for Business project is a free consultancy engagement through your Local Enterprise Office. An approved advisor reviews your business and produces a digital roadmap report. Completing this project within the last two years is a mandatory precondition for applying for the Grow Digital Voucher.

If you run a small business in Ireland and you’ve been putting off getting a proper website, online booking system or digital menu because of the cost — the Government will cover half of it. The Grow Digital Voucher gives eligible Irish businesses up to €5,000 towards new digital tools. Most business owners who qualify have never heard of it.

The Grow Digital Voucher, administered through your Local Enterprise Office (LEO), gives small businesses a grant of 50% of eligible costs, up to €5,000, to adopt new digital tools. That includes cloud-based software subscriptions like website platforms, online booking systems, and e-commerce tools.

What Is the Grow Digital Voucher?

The Grow Digital Voucher is a grant scheme for small enterprises with 1–50 employees. It funds the adoption of new digital technology in your business:

Grant amount: 50% of eligible costs
Minimum grant: €500
Maximum grant: €5,000 (across a maximum of two voucher projects)
Administered by: your Local Enterprise Office

What Does It Cover?

Two categories of spending are eligible:

1. Software subscription fees — for eligible business software that is new to your business, covering up to one year of subscription costs. Examples include:

Website platforms (subscription-based)
Online booking, payments or appointment systems
E-commerce software
CRM and lead management tools
Analytics software
Cloud-based accounting or payroll

2. Training and IT configuration — expert help setting up and integrating the new software, or training your team to use it. Combined, training and configuration can make up no more than 50% of the total project cost.

What It Does NOT Cover — Read This Before You Buy

Bespoke website development is not eligible. If an agency builds you a custom one-off website, the voucher won’t cover it. Only subscription-based, “off the shelf” software qualifies.
Costs incurred before your application is received are not eligible. If you pay a provider first and apply afterwards, you get nothing. Always apply before spending.
Expanding licences for software you already use doesn’t qualify — it has to be new to your business.

Who Is Eligible?

Your business qualifies if it:

Has between 1 and 50 paid employees
Has completed a Digital for Business project within the previous two years
Has been established and trading for at least 6 months
Is registered and operating within your Local Enterprise Office area
Is not a client of Enterprise Ireland or IDA
Is solvent and has current tax clearance from Revenue

Sole traders, partnerships and companies all qualify.

The Step Most People Miss: Digital for Business

Before you can apply for the Grow Digital Voucher, your business must have completed a Digital for Business project through your LEO within the last two years. This is a free consultancy engagement where an approved advisor reviews your business and produces a digital roadmap report.

If you haven’t done this yet, it’s your first step — contact your Local Enterprise Office and request it. Once you have the report, you can apply for the voucher.

Worked Example: Restaurant Website + Booking System

Say a restaurant signs up to a platform like AllWeb on a Growth plan:

Annual platform subscription (€90 per 4 weeks × 13 cycles): €1,170
Setup & configuration (eligible portion, capped at 50% of project): €1,170
Total eligible project cost: €2,340
Grow Digital Voucher (50%): –€1,170
Your net cost: €1,170

That’s a full business platform — website, online bookings, digital menu with QR codes, and analytics — with the Government covering half the first-year cost.
