How your company benefits

This service will help you:

develop your website so it's more focused on international customers
increase the profile of your business internationally
identify and target suitable international markets for you
Address language considerations and learn how to localise your website
put together a personalised action plan to kick start your site development
develop an international pricing strategy, taking into account currencies and delivery charges

How much does it cost?

This course is free of charge, but because it is a form of EU State Aid, it could count towards your overall De Minimis Aid allowance. Each company is allowed a total of €200,000 in De Minimis Aid over a 3-year period (with a lower limit for fisheries and some other categories).

Workshops are part funded through the European Regional Development Fund in partnership with Scottish Development International and HIE.
