Business & Finance (sometimes B&F) is a fortnightly Irish business magazine published by Belenos Publications, that was established by Hugh McLaughlin in September 1964.[1] It provides news, comment and analysis on Irish and international news stories. The readership is made up of business professionals, including senior level business leaders such as CEOs and heads of functions. It is a sister title to Magill.

History and circulation

The magazine has been published continually since its foundation in 1964. At the beginning of the 2000s the magazine was published on a weekly basis.[2] The parent company is Belenos Publications, which acquired the magazine in 2001.[2]

Business & Finance is edited by John Walsh,[3] who took over after the departure of controversial economist Constantin Gurdgiev.[4] Contributors include Richard Delevan, Gavin Miller, Nicole Matthews, Sarah Gilmartin and teic.ie editor Adam Maguire.

The magazine claimed a readership of over 55,100 and a bi-weekly circulation, according to an ABC circulated audit, of 15,767 for the period 1 July to 31 December 2008.[5]

Also published are the annual "Top 1000 Companies in Ireland" and the "Who's Who in Irish Business". Other publications include the Life Sciences Review for news and updates for the life sciences industry in Ireland and Green Business which focuses on the implications of the move to 'green' for the business community.
