What’s typically eligible on a signage project

Most of these schemes fund the digital side rather than plain hardware, so the parts of a signage project most likely to qualify are:

  • Digital content-management & scheduling software (CMS)
  • Content design and creation for your screens
  • Digital strategy, consulting and planning
  • Staff training on the system
  • Online & omnichannel elements tied to your displays

The hardware — the screens themselves — is treated differently scheme to scheme and assessed case by case, which is exactly where getting the application right matters.

Common questions

Can I get a grant to pay for digital signage?

Not usually for the screens outright — but the software, content, strategy and training around a rollout can qualify under schemes like the Grow Digital Voucher or the Enterprise Ireland Digitalisation Voucher. We’ll tell you honestly what’s likely eligible before you apply.

Which grant is right for my business?

It depends on your size, sector and whether you’ve done a prior LEO digital project. Small retailers often start with the Grow Digital Voucher; larger manufacturers or traded-services firms look at the Enterprise Ireland Digitalisation Voucher; tourism and hospitality have Fáilte Ireland supports. Tell us about your business and we’ll point you to the right one.

Do you handle the grant application for me?

We’re not a grant agency, but we make it straightforward — the right project scope, itemised quotes and the documentation assessors look for. You or your accountant submit; we make the digital-signage side watertight.
