Opportunity Wales
What we do

Thousands of businesses from across Wales have already benefited from the dedicated, expert advice on eCommerce given to them by Opportunity Wales.

The services that Opportunity Wales provides to small to medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are a mixture of professional eCommerce advice, subsidised hands-on support and funding. The combination of these three practical elements allow SMEs to turn the hopes for their business into real solutions, resulting in opportunities for growth and business transformation.

All clients of the Opportunity Wales service receive a personal service at every level. Our bilingual Contact Centre is the first point for any enquiries from businesses that wish to become clients.

Businesses that become Opportunity Wales clients are linked up with a highly-skilled eCommerce adviser, providing them with pragmatic, impartial and practical advice, every step of the way. What’s more, our advisers usually meet clients on-site, so businesses do not usually have to travel in order to receive the full suite of services that we provide.

“Following an Opportunity Wales eCommerce Review that included a step-by-step guide to implementing an eCommerce strategy, we launched our own Web site that’s now providing us with trade we wouldn’t otherwise have had and which we couldn’t have done as effectively without broadband and the help received from Opportunity Wales.”
Vit Vintr, White Horse Inn, Henderwydd, Denbighshire

All of the services that Opportunity Wales provide are tailor-made to meet the optimum eCommerce requirements of the individual business. Each client receives a tailor-made report on how they can advance their business, both strategically and operationally, with eCommerce and Internet technologies. To assist clients to quickly and effectively realise the recommendations from their eCommerce review report, we offer a series of subsidised Implementation Support packages. This is a customised service, whereby the client will discuss and agree with their adviser the most appropriate support package for the eCommerce requirements for their business. The service provides real opportunities for businesses to take great leaps forward in deploying technology in their business.

“I have got an enormous amount out of the Opportunity Wales programme, way beyond the simple matter of financial assistance, the clearly defined ladder of objectives in Web use was of enormous help in focussing on all the other steps needed to put a successful business in place. Moreover, when I do get to the stage of taking on staff, it will be of great help in designing systems for running the business.”
