Company Formation in Republic Ireland. Starting Business in Dublin

. If you are considering starting up your own business, becoming self-employed, or even re-locating your business to Ireland, there are many issues you will need to consider. For example, you will require fundamental information regarding forming a company, registering your company, locating and naming your business, employing staff and the taxation, legal and regulatory information that governs every business in Ireland.

What do you know about business planning? Before you think about setting up a business, it is important that you put together a business plan. Business planning may include conducting some market research, finding a location and investigating the various schemes and grants available for research and development and setting up.

Find out how to form a company and register your company for tax purposes. Did you know that the type of company you decide to start up will determine your dealing with the Companies Registration Office? In addition, the type of company you start up will also determine the nature of any memoranda and articles that will need to be drawn up. You will also find useful information regarding the name you choose for your company.

Our procedures and the time required to register your company are also transparent. As noted above, we are registered in the CRO Electronic Filing Incorporation scheme and can normally form your company within 5 working days from the completion of your application. As we follow the progress of your registration, we will advise you if the registration is going to take longer. We prepare the forms, get the required solicitors signatures and file with the CRO; with follow-up as required throughout to ensure the successful set up of your limited company. Limited company registration should not be confused with implying that the company name so registered is "trademarked". The protection and registration of a "trade mark" is a separate legal process. Coddan will be pleased to provide assistance with the registration of a trademark if required. Let us know how we can help.

The establishment of a private company in the Republic of Ireland is easy and straightforward. No permission is required to establish a business presence, although there is some regulation of the use of business and trading names. All companies registering in Ireland are required to do so with Companies House and have to submit accounts as well as annual returns. Overseas companies establishing a branch or place of business in Dublin must register and file annual accounts. Companies operating in the financial, defence, oil exploration and other regulated areas may require licences or authorisation to conduct business.

Important Notes

The statutory requirements for a company in the Republic of Ireland dictate that there must be, at minimum: two directors, one secretary, and one shareholder. It is possible for a person to act as both a director and a secretary. The directors and secretary of a company in the Republic of Ireland must be private individuals: they may not be corporate.

If neither of the directors of a company in the Republic of Ireland are residents of the Republic of Ireland, the company is required to pay a bond which must be lodged with a bond company, and which must be renewed every two years.

Coddan offers a resident nominee director service which you can use in order to avoid the obligation of paying a bond.
