Support and advice for businesses across the island is available to help firms navigate the current challenges. In these unprecedented times InterTradeIreland continues to offer its full range of programmes. We realise however the immense challenges that face the business community and we will endeavour to be as flexible and supportive to you as you navigate your way through this uncertainty.
We have created the guides below which summarise the key information your business needs to know.
Businesses currently on any of our support programmes should feel free to contact their ITI representative immediately to discuss flexible arrangements that may help you complete the programme. We will be in contact with each of you over the next number of days to work with and assist you. We are working on additional supports and will keep you updated as they become available.
