Incorporations

Company Incorporation

We specialise in providing expert guidance and support for company incorporation in Ireland. Our team brings extensive experience in setting up different types of companies and company structures, including limited companies (LTD), Designated Activity Companies (DAC), unlimited liability companies (ULC), and Companies Limited by Guarantee (CLG). We understand the intricacies of Irish corporate law and can assist you in making informed decisions.

Choosing the Right Business Structure

When it comes to establishing your business, selecting the appropriate company structure is a critical decision. At Crowley Corporate Services, we understand that choosing the right “type” of company in Ireland is essential for a successful start. With the introduction of the Companies Act 2014, there are a multitude of company types available, each with its own set of regulations and requirements.

Expertise Across Various Company Structures

Our team boasts extensive experience in setting up all types of companies and company structures, including but not limited to:

  • Limited Companies (LTD): This popular choice offers limited liability for its shareholders, providing protection for personal assets.
  • Designated Activity Companies (DAC): DACs are suited for businesses with specific objectives and activities, each clearly defined in their constitution.
  • Unlimited Liability Companies (ULC): ULCs have no limit on their members’ liability, making them suitable for certain business scenarios.
  • Companies Limited by Guarantee (CLG): CLGs are often chosen by non-profit organisations, offering limited liability for their members.

Re-Registration of Company Type

In some cases, it becomes necessary for a company to change its “type.” This could involve transitioning from limited liability to unlimited liability or vice versa. Alternatively, you may require your company to be re-registered as a company limited by guarantee. Our services extend to drafting all the necessary company secretarial documents to facilitate this change. We take care of arranging for the relevant documents to be filed with the Companies Registration Office, ensuring a seamless transition while adhering to legal requirements.

Clarifying Legal Requirements

In addition to assisting you in choosing the right company structure, we also provide guidance on various aspects of company formation:

  • Directors’ Duties: We help clarify the responsibilities and duties of company directors, ensuring compliance with legal obligations.
  • Shareholders’ Obligations and Rights: Understanding the rights and obligations of shareholders is essential for smooth corporate governance.
  • Registered Office and Company Secretaries Duties: We provide insights into the requirements and responsibilities related to your company’s registered office and company secretary.

Non-Profit Incorporations

Many businesses in Ireland are formed for charitable purposes. Crowley Corporate Services is well-versed in the specific provisions surrounding non-profit incorporations. To achieve charitable exemption, a company’s constitution must comply with both the Companies Act 2014 and the Charities Act 2009.

For management companies tasked with overseeing properties on behalf of owners, specific provisions may be required to comply with the Multi-Unit Developments Act 2011. Whether you are establishing a non-profit, charity, or a management company, we ensure that all statutory provisions are meticulously complied with during the setup process.
