Book your stand today! We have added two business speakers Jim Sheehan of SURECOM and Denis Casey of Casey Business Consulting. Jim will speak about his business story and how to enter awards. Denis outlines his speaking points as follows: A different take on Brexit plus why people should love their numbers. Firstly ( at the risk of turning people off ) Brexit. While I appreciate people are sick to the teeth of hearing about Brexit at this stage, my take on Brexit is slightly different. I believe the actions required when planning for Brexit, are actions all businesses should take anyway to make themselves stronger – even if Brexit wasn’t on the horizon. If Brexit happens, they’ll be ready. If Brexit doesn’t happen, they’ll see the difference on your bottom line. Secondly, I work a lot with micro, small and medium businesses. It is surprising how many of them don’t know their margins by product, service or channel. Many business owners seem to have a phobia about the financial side of the business. Yes, they love that they do, but it is much easier to make a profit when you take time to understand the margins. Feel free to pop in for what should be an interesting and hopefully interactive chat. www.caseybusinessconsulting.ie Home News Events Brexit If you would like to include an article about your company in the newsletter at any stage please get in touch with us.

It has been established by the Central Bank of Ireland under the Credit Reporting Act 2013. The Central Credit Register is being implemented in two phases. In Phase One , lenders commenced the submission of information on consumer loans (credit cards, mortgages, overdrafts and personal loans) and this will continue to be made monthly. This information has been incorporated into credit reports which are available on request at www.centralcreditregister.ie . Phase Two focuses on the submission of information on business loans including for example, commercial mortgages, business overdrafts and credit cards, revolving facilities and letters of credit. From 31 March 2019 , business lenders will be obliged to seek a credit report when: a borrower has made an application for a new loan for €2,000 or more; a borrower has applied to have an existing loan restructured; there are arrears on an existing loan or there has been a breach of the limit of a credit card or overdraft.
