How We Support Sales Growth
Whether your business trades in Northern Ireland or Ireland, you should know the full extent of the opportunities that exist right here on your doorstep.
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 businesses to grow by identifying new sales and sourcing opportunities on the island, providing information, practical advice and tailored support. For many businesses, the cross-border market is the springboard to exporting off the island to international markets. Our flexible and tailored supports include the 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.
