This is a free, one-day introductory level workshop where you can learn how to increase international sales through your website.

Who's it for?

This workshop is open to any business with an existing website. If you're looking to broaden your online sales and reach more international customers, this is the service for you.

How does it work?

The interactive workshop focuses on giving you the tools you need to create and manage a strong online presence. With your new-found expertise, you can identify the right direction to boost international sales and grow your business on a global platform.

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.
