It happened during his first year running his own private security firm.
A midlands man who founded a successful private security firm says he was in danger of losing his house in the first year in businesses.
Sean Hall, from Ballybrittas in Laois, is the CEO of Manguard Plus - he says as a result of the company's first-year turnover, he had no money to pay for his mortgage.
Nearly 30 years later, the business has an annual turnover of over €40m, and is the largest Irish-owned security company.
Mr. Hall says it's his intention the company will never be sold:
