Are you ready to grow your business beyond your current market? With ongoing changes in tariffs and trading conditions, now is the time to explore new opportunities, and the Market Explorer Grant from the Local Enterprise Office Louth is here to help.
This grant provides up to 50% of eligible costs (to a maximum of €10,000) to support activities like market research, consultancy, attending trade fairs, travel, and meeting potential clients. It’s designed for small businesses in manufacturing or eligible internationally traded services that have been trading for at least 12 months.
“Breaking into new markets can feel daunting,” says Niall Gallagher, Senior Enterprise Development Officer at LEO Louth. “Where do you start? Which markets are right for your product? What do you need to know about regulations and trading conditions? This grant helps you move past the questions and into the opportunities. It’s also about resilience. If one market becomes difficult, having others to trade in keeps your business steady and gives you room to grow. The Market Explorer Grant gives local businesses the confidence and resources to make that leap.”
