Welcome to the final edition of the 2020 SFA e-zine. We would like to remind you that we are operating under different hours around the holidays; please see our opening times and contact details here.
Be sure to kick off 2021 on the right foot and book on to our webinar on 13 January with AIB, Beauchamps and PKF O’Connor, Leddy & Holmes - Your Business: Planning for Exit & Succession, and pre-book our highly praised marketplace event, Business Connect on 11 February, which for the first time will be held virtually and free of charge.
The Data Protection Commission (DPC) announced this month their conclusion to a GDPR investigation in relation to Twitter International Company.
Members are reminded to consult with their payment service providers to ensure they are PSD2 ready.
Today we also look at some of the top queries received by the SFA in recent weeks. Make sure you watch back this week’s 2021 Economic Forecast with AIB, and check out the Ibec Economic Forecast.
We also have an exciting opportunity for you to partner with UCD Smurfit - check out the details here. Finally, remember that you do not need to face your business challenges alone - prepare your business for the new year by applying for MentorsWork to be paired up with an experienced business mentor to help guide your business, for free. You can also check out our most recent press coverage.
As always, we’d love to hear from you about any queries you may have, issues you wish to have raised with Government or other stakeholders and your ideas on how we can improve the business environment for us all. Please contact me on tel: 01 605 1602 or e-mail: sven@sfa.ie or tweet: @SFA_Irl or visit our website.
