Things to Know or Watch Out For with Company Formation
- Choosing the Right Structure is Key
Sole trader, partnership, or limited company? Each has different tax, liability, and reporting obligations. We help you choose the best structure for your goals. - Company Name Rules Must Be Followed
Your chosen company name must be unique and meet CRO naming guidelines. We check availability and handle the reservation and registration process. - The Constitution Must Reflect Your Business Purpose
All companies must have a Constitution outlining how they will operate. We draft this document and file it with your CRO application. - Registered Office Address is a Legal Requirement
Every company must have a registered office in Ireland to receive official correspondence. We provide this service if you need one.
- Director and Secretary Information Must Be Disclosed
You’ll need to appoint at least one director and (in some cases) a separate company secretary. We advise on eligibility and help with all documentation. - Share Structure Should Match Ownership Intentions
We help set up your company’s initial shareholding structure and can advise on future planning if you intend to bring in investors or partners. - Tax and VAT Registration May Be Required
Once your company is formed, you may need to register for Corporation Tax, VAT, and as an employer. We guide you through all necessary steps. - Formation is Just the Beginning
Once your company is incorporated, there are ongoing obligations to stay compliant. We offer ongoing support with company secretarial and accounting services.
