Key Requirements for Forming a Company in Ireland
To successfully incorporate, your company must meet several legal obligations:
- Company Name: Must be unique and end with “Limited” or “Teoranta”; certain words (e.g. ‘bank’, ‘insurance’) require special approval.
- Constitution: A legal document (including Articles of Association) that sets out company rules and internal governance.
- Registered Office Address: Must be an address in Ireland for official correspondence.
- Directors and Shareholders: At least one director. Preferably an EEA-resident director or alternative compliance (bond or certificate) if non-resident. Associates/shareholders details needed.
- Company Secretary: Must have one; ensures duties like filing returns and maintaining records are met.
- Share Capital: You must define authorised & issued share capital.
After incorporation, there are ongoing compliance tasks to keep your company in full legal standing:
- Annual returns with CRO, financial statements showing “true and fair view.”
- Hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM) or equivalent written resolution. First AGM within 18 months, then annually.
- Corporation Tax returns with Revenue; maintain tax registrations for VAT, PAYE if needed.
- Ensure up-to-date records: directors, shareholders, share capital, registered office address.
