Issue 596 (Week ending 08/08/2023)

Corporate insolvencies in Ireland are continuing to rise, despite the relative health of the Irish economy. In fact, according to our most recent research, the first six months of 2023 saw a 48% year-on-year increase in insolvencies, with 410 insolvencies recorded in H1.

Unfortunately many of the above 410 companies may leave creditors behind with thousands of euros of bad debts and unpaid invoices.

To minimise exposure. This can be to reduce the number of days of credit or a stronger focus on credit control for higher risk customers.
