Fully funded support for your food business in 2026 – let’s talk in January

2026 is a big year for Irish food businesses, with wage and pension changes landing on top of an already heavy workload. Many owners are telling me they want to take action but feel too stretched, tired, or unsure where to start.​

That is exactly where fully funded support comes in.

Ways we can work together (fully funded)

Depending on your location and eligibility, there are programmes that can cover my time with you, so you get expert support without adding pressure to your cashflow.​

Here are some of the most popular ways clients work with me using funded mentoring and review supports:​

• One-day onsite review of your café/food business, with a practical action-focused report and timelines.​

• Fully funded 1:1 mentoring blocks (online or onsite) to work through wages, pensions, pricing, GP, menus, systems and staffing in a structured way.​

• Lean-style improvement projects where we pick one key area (profit, waste, rostering, systems) and work through a short, focused project together.​

• 
  

If you already have my Wage & Pension Toolkit and Owner Workbook, traciedaly.com/toolkit-auto-enrolement-wage-increase (free gift of a workbook will be sent after each toolkit is purchased) these sessions are the perfect place to turn them into a funded implementation plan instead of something you “get to later”.​

What you need to do now

January is when most owners finally have a small bit of headspace and when funding pipelines for the year start moving.​

If you want to:

• Make 2026 planned, not panicked

• Turn your ideas into a clear roadmap

• Use funding so you are not carrying the full cost alone

…then now is the time to put your hand up.

Hit reply with a simple “January chat please” and I’ll:

1. Reply with a couple of January slots for a short intro call.

2. Help you identify the best fully funded route for your business.

3. Outline 1–2 ways we could work together that would make the biggest difference in Q1.

   
   

No pressure, no hard sell – just a straight-talking conversation about what’s possible for your business in 2026, and how to get it funded.

Wishing you a Very Happy Christmas and a PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

Warmly,

Tracie
