Most formation packages stop at the certificate of incorporation. This one covers the whole first year. Setting up the company is the easy part. What catches new directors out is what falls due afterwards: the beneficial ownership filing, tax registration, and the first annual return with the CRO. Miss the last one and the company loses its audit exemption. This package takes all of it.
If you live in Ireland you can act as sole director. You do not need a Section 137 bond and you do not need a nominee director, because an Irish-resident director already satisfies the residency requirement.
Setting the company up
Keeping it compliant through year one
Your annual return date falls six months after incorporation, and the B1 must be filed within fifty-six days of that date under section 343 of the Companies Act 2014. Filing it late carries a fee, and a second late return within any five-year period costs the company its audit exemption for that year and the next. This is the single deadline new directors most often miss, and it is included here.
All four are covered by this package. You are not asked to track any of them.
Yes. Every Irish company must have a secretary, and where the company has only one director that person cannot also act as secretary. This is section 129 of the Companies Act 2014. If you are forming the company alone you will need to appoint someone else, or use our company secretary service.
Founders resident in Ireland who want the company running and compliant without managing filing dates themselves. If you are resident elsewhere in the EU or the EEA, see EU / EEA Resident Company Formation. If you are resident outside the EEA, you will also need a resident director solution: see Non-Resident Company Formation.
Everything statutory in year one is covered. These sit outside it, and are available separately so you only pay for what your company actually needs:
Most companies are ready within three to five working days once we have your signed documents and identity verification. Tax registration and the RBO filing follow incorporation. The annual return is prepared when it falls due, and we come to you, not the other way round.
All prices exclude VAT. VAT is added where applicable. Some activities require a licence, registration or insurance before trading. We can advise on this separately.
