Small company owners in Limerick told to ‘go digital’


SMALL business owners across Ireland are being encouraged to apply for a grant worth up to €3,600 to help their companies become fully digital.
The Digital Start grant is available to company owners who trade internationally or are engaged in manufacturing.
The Limerick Local Enterprise Office is administering the scheme here as part of Enterprise Week 2023 which runs until this Saturday, March 11.
Lean BPI which provides digital solutions to small firms has been working with clients of the Local Enterprise Offices, and is encouraging business people to avail of this grant.
John O’Shanahan, who is based in Shelbourne Road on the city’s northside, and is the founder of Lean BPI said: “We specialise in developing tailored solutions to help small firms and micro industry clients to improve their workflows, converting to more efficient, simplified digital processes. We’re delighted that our application of lean best practice, thought leadership and digital innovation has led to clients experiencing increased business performance, reduced costs and a reduction in the stresses of the day-to-day operations. I’d strongly encourage business leaders to engage with their LEO to explore the Digital Start grant option.
On Friday, Mr O’Shanahan will be holding an online seminar offering insights into the benefits of going digital.
It kicks off at 10am. For more information on the grant, and the seminar, please visit localenterprise.ie/Limerick or telephone 061-557499.
