Ex-Dragon Newman says absence of credit leaving entrepreneurs ‘choked’

FORMER Dragons Den star Sarah Newman says credit has become so scarce in Ireland that it has left many business people choked.

The entrepreneur was in the news recently when the cleaning business she ran with her partner, Kilkenny hurling star DJ Carey was wound up.

She said yesterday that nobody sets out in business to fail, adding that to realise a business is finished can be a “very hard pill to swallow”.
