Your US software company moved its headquarters to Ireland. Your receivables didn't.

Ireland is the third-largest exporter of digital services on earth—$425 billion a year, growing faster than any other top-ten country. Most of the world's largest technology companies run major EMEA operations from Dublin. If your company has an Irish entity, or you're an Irish software vendor selling into the US, this post is about the receivables nobody moved with the headquarters.

The two Irelands, both with the same problem

The US company with an Irish HQ. You restructured—the Irish entity books international revenue and the US entity sells into America. But the invoicing entity and the collecting entity are two different companies, and when a US customer stops paying, nobody is sure which entity owns the fight. We are: the entity on the contract.

The native Irish software company. Ireland's homegrown SaaS companies sell heavily into the US. The pattern is the same as our Australian and UK clients: a Dublin finance team, a California customer, and an invoice that's aging while the time zones argue.

What the Dublin team needs to know

• The contracting entity is the liability. Whether your Irish entity or your US subsidiary signed, that's the entity we pursue—and the entity record matters more than the brand.
• US debtors assume distance is a defense. They've seen European vendors give up. They're usually right—until the collection call comes from a US number during US business hours, with the file in hand.
• The evidence is the same in Dublin as in Delaware. Signed order form, usage trail, promise-to-pay emails. Software receivables travel well.
• Entity matching. Your intercompany structure still has to match the contract and invoice. We identify the creditor entity, the liable debtor entity, and the payment instructions before making a demand.

Why we're built for this

Our international desk handles exactly this structure: an Irish or US entity on the contract, a debtor anywhere in the world, one point of contact on your side. Local agents in 15+ countries, an in-house lawyer who's worked the jurisdictions these debtors hide in, and the same contingency rate as domestic—25% under 12 months, 33% over, 40% on second placements, no recovery, no fee.

The short version

You moved the headquarters, the IP, and the revenue to Ireland. Move the collections too—the US receivable you're writing off is the same receivable a collector with US-hours reach collects at a domestic rate. Send the file. The ocean isn't a defense.
