Frequently asked questions

We can point you toward the right scheme and help you frame the project for your application. The formal submission goes through you and the relevant grant body (e.g. LEO, Enterprise Ireland). Once approved, we deliver the work.

It depends on the scheme — some cover up to 90% of the costs. We’ll talk you through what’s realistic for your business and the type of work you’re looking to fund before you apply.

Some grants are aimed at businesses with under 10 employees, others scale up to larger companies. We can help you figure out which supports you’re eligible for.

Not necessarily. If funding isn’t an option for you, you can work directly with us. We can offer payment plans to suit your budget without funding. If you are going the grant route, you’ll need approval in place before we begin, so it’s worth getting in touch early to plan around your timeline.

Important information about grants

Grants can cover a significant share of the cost of developing your business, but most don’t take advantage of all the schemes available to them, and funding windows don’t stay open forever.

Depending on your sector and size, your business may be able to access training and mentoring supports. We have delivered subsidised leadership and people management training, Lean Yellow and Green Belt training, and more through Skillnet Ireland, meaning our clients pay a reduced rate for the same services.

Grants like the GreenStart and GreenPlus through Enterprise Ireland support sustainability strategy and environmental training.

For digital projects, the Trading Online Voucher and Grow Digital schemes help cover the cost of website, e-commerce and digital capability work.

At Jigsaw Better Business, we help clients identify which of these routes applies to them and build programmes — across leadership, Lean, sustainability, and digital — that are eligible for support, so the investment goes further.
