Dublin Debt Collection Services: Tech Hub & IFSC Guide

If this sounds familiar, you're in the right place:

• Net 30-60 terms routinely drift to Net 90-180+ with "awaiting parent approval" accepted as normal Dublin tech practice
• Acceptance disputes appear only after payment requests (SaaS milestone completion, service deliverables, project phases)
• Entity confusion: Dublin Limited vs US parent vs EMEA subsidiary (nobody owns the invoice)
• Decision-maker who approved is now "escalating to headquarters" and Dublin contact won't make payment decisions
• Evidence scattered: English contracts, milestone docs, Slack confirmations, project management tool records
• Startup volatility: funding round timing affects your payment despite signed contracts
• Multinational bureaucracy vs Irish entity responsibility—unclear which jurisdiction applies

• Evidence pack assembled in first 48 hours (SOWs, milestone confirmations, acceptance proof, payment terms)
• Entity and decision-owner mapping across Dublin locations and parent company connections (who actually controls payments in Silicon Docks, IFSC, Sandyford, and which US office for multinational entities)
• Industry-aware outreach (we work tech, pharma, fintech, and professional services—understanding startup dynamics and multinational approval chains)
• Acceptance reconstruction when "milestone not met" or "scope change" disputes appear
• Irish common law and EU-aware escalation routing (European Payment Order, Irish courts, statutory interest compliance, relationship preservation strategies)
• Documented reporting cadence (you know what's happening, why, and what's next)

Collecty works Dublin B2B files from €15K to €5M+, across technology, pharma, fintech, and professional services—evidence-first, startup-aware across Silicon Docks, IFSC, Sandyford, and Ballsbridge.

The Dublin Tech Gateway™ analyzes contract type and Irish common law/EU enforcement options early, maps Dublin entity and district-based decision ownership (IFSC, Silicon Docks, Sandyford, City Centre), reconstructs acceptance across industries (tech, pharma, fintech, professional services), routes escalation with Irish court and EU Payment Order compliance while understanding multinational bureaucracy and startup volatility, and documents every step in English for cross-border transparency.

1. VERIFY — Validate contract terms, Dublin entity structure, parent company relationships (Irish Limited vs US/UK parent), and acceptance documentation
2. MAP — Identify actual decision-owners across Silicon Docks, IFSC, Sandyford locations (who controls payment authority)
3. CONTACT — Initiate structured Dublin-aware outreach (understanding tech culture, multinational bureaucracy, startup dynamics)
4. ESCALATE — Route to Irish Commercial Court, EU Payment Order, or formal proceedings with statutory interest claims (EU Late Payment Regulations)
5. RESOLVE — Settle or enforce through Irish legal mechanisms, maintaining relationship where commercially sensible for European HQ decisions

Requirements vary—consult local Irish counsel for specific situations.

• Statute of Limitations: Generally 6 years for contract claims under Irish Limitation of Actions Act
• Common Law System: Precedent-based, familiar to UK/US businesses
• EU Membership: European Payment Order available for cross-border B2B collection
• Commercial Court: Expedited handling for significant commercial disputes
• Statutory Interest: EU Late Payment Directive implemented—approximately 8% above ECB reference rate
• Currency: EUR (Eurozone member since 1999)

Perhaps the most common Dublin commercial debt collector challenge: your invoice shows "XYZ Ireland Limited" but payments require California approval.

The pattern we see constantly:

1. Contract signed with Irish registered company
2. Work delivered to Dublin team
3. Milestone acceptance from Irish project manager
4. Invoice submitted to Dublin AP department
5. Payment stalls—"waiting for US headquarters approval"
6. US finance team says "Dublin handles EMEA vendors"
7. Entity confusion circle continues...

The fix: Map the actual decision chain before assuming Irish Limited has payment authority. Many Dublin tech subsidiaries operate with limited financial autonomy despite local registration.

Dublin has become a crucial post-Brexit gateway for companies needing EU market access. This creates specific B2B debt collection Dublin considerations:

• UK companies with Dublin subsidiaries: May have established Irish entities primarily for EU access—check actual payment authority
• Currency exposure: EUR invoicing but GBP revenues can create timing delays during currency volatility
• Contract jurisdiction: Post-Brexit, Irish courts remain within EU framework—different from UK enforcement
• EU Payment Order: Available for Dublin collections (not applicable to UK-only disputes post-Brexit)

Dublin's position as a European tech hub, combined with Irish common law efficiency and EU mechanisms, creates a structured environment for B2B collection—when you understand the multinational dynamics, entity structures, and tech-sector culture.

For international B2B collection services across Dublin and Ireland, or to explore our European locations including UK post-Brexit coverage, start with a triage call.

Share your invoice amount, industry (tech, pharma, fintech, professional services), debtor location (Silicon Docks, IFSC, Sandyford), and days overdue—we'll map the next Dublin-compliant, EU-aware move.
