LEO Vouchers for Digital Projects
Your Local Enterprise Office offers digital supports that can help fund off-the-shelf digital tools, plus advice and mentoring. Here's what's actually covered, what isn't, and how we can help you figure out which path fits.
Current LEO Digital Supports
The Grow Digital Voucher is the LEO's current digital voucher. The older website voucher is no longer offered by any LEO, so no LEO voucher currently pays for a custom website build. Here's what is on offer.
For advice & planning
Help working out what your business actually needs before you spend anything.
- • Digital for Business: a consultant-led review of how your business uses digital tools
- • Completing it is the route to a Grow Digital Voucher
- • LEO mentoring: one-to-one advice from an experienced business mentor, including website planning
- • Advice only — neither pays for a website or software build

- • Up to €5,000 (50% of eligible costs)
- • Requires completing Digital for Business programme first
- • Off-the-shelf software subscriptions (max 1 year)
- • 1–50 employees, turnover under €10m

How We Can Help
JMS Dev Lab builds practical apps and custom software for growing businesses. Here's the honest picture of where the vouchers fit our work — and where they don't.
Off-the-Shelf Tools (voucher-eligible)
The Grow Digital Voucher funds ready-made software subscriptions — CRM, accounting, booking, stock control, cyber security. If one of those would solve your problem, we'll tell you honestly and point you to it. That's exactly what the voucher is for.
Custom Software & Websites (not voucher-eligible)
Our own work — bespoke web apps, client portals, internal tools, and custom websites — is not covered by the Grow Digital Voucher, which excludes custom and bespoke development. We'd rather say that up front than imply otherwise.
Our pricing: websites from €399, custom tools from €3,000
We Help You Decide
Not sure whether you need a ready-made tool (possibly voucher-funded) or something custom? A free, no-pitch review will tell you which makes sense for your business — including when doing nothing is the right call.
Important note
Voucher eligibility and availability depend on your business circumstances and your local office, and the schemes change over time. Always confirm with your Local Enterprise Office what your specific project qualifies for before committing.
General Eligibility
LEO digital supports are generally aimed at:
- ✓ Small businesses with 1 to 50 employees
- ✓ Businesses based in Ireland
- ✓ Turnover under €10 million (EU SME definition)
Additional requirements vary by scheme. The Grow Digital Voucher requires completing a Digital for Business programme first. Contact your LEO for full details.
