The next quarterly newsletter of Enterprise Worldwide is due for publication around May 17th. Today I was finishing my own contribution to the newsletter on ‘Business Registration in Ireland’.

This is a brief article that outlines the typical business registration options and associated accounts compliance requirements with the companies registration office (CRO).

The main areas focused on include, place of business, branch, limited company, business name and limited liability partnership registration. All of these company set-up processes and ongoing services are covered by our firm on a regular basis.

Foreign Companies Operating in Ireland – Branch or Place of Business?

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

There are legal obligations on foreign companies operating in Ireland to register with the CRO, normally within 1 month of beginning operations here. Most companies will either have a Place of Business or a Branch.  The difference between these two types of registration depend on whether the company’s activities in Ireland are part of the company’s  main business or are just ancilliary activities such as a representative office with decision making on contracts being made at head office overseas. If you would like to discuss your own companies status please refer to O’Mahony Donnelly contact details.
