I would like professional help with my business due to the COVID-19 crisis, can I get financial support for this?

The new Business Continuity Voucher has been launched to help sole traders with consultancy costs when planning strategies to respond to COVID-19.

This voucher is available through Local Enterprise Offices and is designed for businesses across every sector that employ up to 50 people.
 
The voucher is worth up to €2,500 in third party consultancy costs and can be used by companies and sole traders to develop short-term and long-term strategies to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
If for example you would like the assistance of a HR professional in dealing with staff or if you would like to work directly with an accountant to help you draft a proposal for bank funding this voucher could be very useful.
