Company Secretarial Services

Irish company law brings a steady stream of filings, registers and deadlines, and the penalties for getting them wrong are real. Our company secretarial services in Ireland take that burden off your desk, from forming the company to filing every CRO annual return on time, so your business stays in good standing with the Companies Registration Office.

Company formation, done properly

Setting up a company is about more than registering a name. We make sure your business starts on the right footing by:

• Advising on the right structure for your plans, including whether a limited company suits you better than a sole trader
• Preparing the company constitution and incorporation documents
• Registering the company with the CRO
• Registering for corporation tax, VAT and PAYE with Revenue through ROS where needed
• Setting up your statutory registers from day one

Most standard private limited companies are incorporated within a few working days once we have your information. We also help non-resident founders and overseas businesses establish an Irish company correctly.

Never miss a CRO deadline

Every Irish company must file an annual return (Form B1) with the CRO by its Annual Return Date, with financial statements attached for most companies. These deadlines are unforgiving. File late and you face an escalating penalty, the loss of audit exemption for two years, and, in serious cases, strike-off.

We monitor your Annual Return Date and other filing obligations, prepare the B1, and file it on time, every time. Protecting your annual return deadline is also what protects your eligibility for audit exemption, so this routine compliance has a direct bottom-line value.

Ongoing statutory compliance

Companies change: directors come and go, shares are issued or transferred, registered offices move. Each triggers a CRO filing and an update to your statutory records. We look after:

• Statutory registers of members, directors and secretaries
• Board minutes, written resolutions and shareholder resolutions
• Changes of director, secretary, registered office and share capital
• Beneficial ownership (RBO) filings and updates
• A registered office service if you need one

We keep everything in order, so that if a bank, buyer or grant agency ever needs to see clean, complete company records, they are there.

Joined up with your accounts and tax

Because we also handle your accounts preparation and corporation tax, your annual return, financial statements and CT1 all line up and tell a consistent story. There is no chasing between separate advisers and no risk of one filing contradicting another. For groups and more complex structures, we work alongside our company restructuring team to keep the corporate record accurate through every change.
