Accounting for the way Sligo does business
Sligo has a medical-device and life-sciences cluster that is large for a county this size, and around it sits a supply chain of precision engineering, toolmaking and specialist contractors. The university campus and a well-developed set of remote-working hubs have made the town a genuine base for people who work for employers and clients based elsewhere, which is why so many Sligo businesses are one or two people invoicing Dublin, London or further afield. Tourism is the other pillar, built on surf at Strandhill and Enniscrone, Yeats country, Benbulben and a growing food and hospitality scene. Outside the town the county is beef, sheep and some dairy, with the usual agricultural contractors alongside.
The two things Sligo clients most often ask about are invoicing clients abroad, including when and how VAT applies, and whether a growing one-person consultancy should move to a limited company. Both are straightforward once the figures are in front of you.
