Sales Funding, Support and Advice
Does your business trade in Northern Ireland or Ireland? If so, there are number of opportunities right here on your doorstep. The latest figures show that cross-border trade has reached an all-time high of £8.3billion/€9.5billion, and continues to grow.
If you want to start your export journey, exporting to the opposite jurisdiction is one of the easiest ways to grow your business. Geographically, it’s the closest export market with no language barrier or travel restrictions in place. You can increase your sales and grow your export business without ever leaving the island.
InterTradeIreland is helping firms gain the knowledge, skills and capability to access the cross-border market. We’re supporting companies to establish and grow exports with our flexible and tailored supports, including our new Trade Export Pathway, offering bespoke, funded support tailored to specific needs. Whether you’re a first-time exporter or an advanced exporter, InterTradeIreland can also help you fund and recruit a sales professional through the Acumen programme. (Eligibility criteria applies)
In addition to sales supports, our Go-2-Tender practical workshops and company specific mentoring supports can help SMEs improve the odds of tendering successfully for public sector contracts.
