Our Six-Stage CRO & Revenue Formation Procedure
We eliminate bureaucratic friction by managing every statutory interaction directly with the Companies Registration Office and the Revenue Commissioners.
1
Online Submission & Name Clearance
You provide your proposed company parameters and officer details. We perform exhaustive name availability clearance across CRO registers to prevent immediate rejections.
2
Preparation of Legal Documents
We draft your formal Company Constitution, officer declaration forms, and Form A1 incorporation deed, ensuring compliance with the Companies Act 2014.
3
Consultation & Identity Verification
We meet you at our Park West Business Park office (or coordinate securely via remote verification) to verify statutory anti-money laundering (AML) ID proofs and execute signatures.
4
Certificate of Incorporation
We submit your dossier through the CRO digital portal. Once registered, the CRO issues your official Certificate of Incorporation establishing distinct legal personality.
5
Revenue Tax Enrolment (CT, VAT, PAYE)
We formally register your entity with the Irish Revenue Commissioners for Corporation Tax, Employer PAYE, and VAT. (Please note: VAT approval from Revenue typically takes 3+ weeks).
6
First Statutory Return & Retainer Support
Every Irish company must file its first statutory annual return within 6 months of incorporation. Parent firm Ryan Cannon Kirk ensures your filing is completed on time with zero late penalties.

Direct Answers
Frequently Asked Questions on Irish Incorporations
Concise answers to common statutory questions regarding director residency, CRO timelines, and Irish Revenue tax registration.
Statutory Requirements Summary
Under the Companies Act 2014, an Irish private limited company (LTD) requires at least one director resident in the European Economic Area (EEA), a separate company secretary (if only one director), a registered office address in the Republic of Ireland, and a compliant company constitution registered with the CRO.
Turnaround Timeline
CRO digital incorporation is generally completed within 3 to 5 working days from formal submission. Document preparation takes 24–48 hours. Post-incorporation Revenue tax registration for Corporation Tax takes 5–7 days, while VAT registration typically requires 3+ weeks under current Revenue processing standards.
Section 137 Bond Mandate
Yes. Non-EEA resident directors can incorporate in Ireland by obtaining a Section 137 Non-EEA Resident Director Bond (a two-year insurance bond valued at €25,000) or by showing a genuine continuous economic link to Ireland under Section 140 of the Companies Act 2014.
VAT Registration Thresholds
In Ireland, businesses must register for VAT if continuous 12-month turnover exceeds €37,500 for the supply of professional services, or €75,000 for the physical supply of goods. Voluntary registration below these statutory thresholds is permitted if trading with commercial VAT-registered clients.
6-Month ARD Deadline
Every newly incorporated Irish company has a statutory Annual Return Date (ARD) exactly 6 months after incorporation. No financial statements or accounts are attached to this first return, but timely submission is compulsory to maintain audit exemption and prevent late filing penalties.
