We're an approved LEO Digital for Business consultant on 10+ Local Enterprise Office panels. In 2–4 LEO-funded days, we review your business, shortlist and cost the right software, and prepare a grant-ready scope for your Grow Digital voucher (up to €5,000).
- **10+** Local Enterprise Office panels
- **Up to €5,000** Grow Digital voucher (50% of eligible costs)
- **2–4 days** Typical engagement, LEO-funded

## Who the Digital for Business programme is for

Owner-led micro and small businesses, from sole traders to teams of around 10. We've worked with retailers, cafés, trades and fabricators, professional services firms, health practices and online training providers. We're on 10+ Local Enterprise Office panels, including Carlow, Cavan, Clare, Cork City, Laois, Louth, Offaly, South Dublin and Wexford, and more are being added all the time.

## Signs a small business needs a digital review

Owners are stretched across every part of the business. Systems don't talk to each other, data is typed in twice, and software is paid for but barely used. Owners know they need to digitise, but not which product to buy or how to fund it.

## What we do in a Digital for Business review

We map how your business runs, shortlist software with real prices, and turn it into a costed, grant-ready plan, so you know what to buy and how to fund it.

How we work

## How a Digital for Business review works
- Baseline: We research the business before we meet.
- Scope: Owner interview, a Digital Intensity score (the EU-wide benchmark for digital adoption), and a map of how work and customers flow today.
- Explore: Gap analysis, vendor shortlist and side-by-side comparison, cost and benefit.
- Roadmap: Quick wins, then 3–4 month and 6–12 month actions.
- Fund: A costed Grow Digital scope, plus a view on the other LEO supports such as the Business Expansion Grant.

### What you get
- A clear report with prioritised recommendations

Online training provider

### Scaling without extra staff

Enrolment, grading and legal paperwork were all handled manually for 80+ students. We designed a connected CRM, automation and AI-assisted grading setup.

5–10xStudent capacity, with manual time per student down 60–80% (estimated)

Steel fabricator, 12 staff

### From paper to one system

Tenders took 5–7 hours each and job information lived on paper and in people's heads. We compared all-in-one, hybrid and separate-tool options and recommended a single ERP with workflow automation.

Independent optician

### Choosing the right practice system

We compared 12 practice management systems against the business's requirements and recommended one, with a costed grant scope.

Professional services

### AI report writing

For this professional services firm, report writing was the slowest step in every client assessment. We recommended a Microsoft 365 Copilot agent and an AI notetaker, then built and configured the agent with a user manual and training.
