Kerry businesses are being encouraged to apply for the latest Online Retail Scheme.
Under this scheme, retailers with a physical store and a pre-existing online presence can apply for grant funding of up to €40,000 to achieve business continuity.
A new round of the COVID-19 Online Retail Scheme worth €5 million has been launched, to help Irish businesses to improve their competitiveness in online retail.
Grants can be used to help retailers develop their online presence.
Successful applicants will receive a grant ranging from €10,000-€40,000, covering up to 80% of project costs.
The Online Retail Scheme opened for applications this week and closes on Tuesday, May 25th.
