In Ireland, a private limited company is commonly known as a limited company. This is the most commonly registered business venture or a commercial business in this country.

  • What is the minimum legal requirement in terms, especially about founder-ship, for registering a limited company in Ireland?

When you want to register a limited company then your business should have a minimum of one director, at the least and a secretary. That is if your business operates on a sole director, then the secretary should be a different person.

Apart from this, your business should have an office address within the Republic of Ireland to be submitted as the registered address for your company.

  • Is registering a limited company my only option to register my business in Ireland? Or do you have any other option if your business might have lower turnover?

Obviously, you have options other than registering a limited company in Ireland. We just mentioned a lot about limited companies because they are the most commonly registered private businesses in Ireland as we said earlier. However, we did not say that it is the only type that could be registered in Ireland. Tetraconsultants can help you to register your company in Ireland.

Limited companies require the founders or the directors to fulfil certain legal and financial requirements along with their operations. These might not be suitable for all and for every type of business.

For instance, if you intend to start a small business and your expected yearly turnover is low, we will not suggest you register it as a limited company. You have options like registering as a partnership business or sole traders.

It is definitely a lot easier, simpler and makes more sense financially to register your small business as a sole trader or as a partnership business if you have more than one founder.

You need to choose a business name, register the name along with an address or which is called a CRO, the Registered Office. Once this is done, you can set up your venture, open a bank account for your company with its name etc.

You can be the staff of your own company, or in other words you could call yourself self-employed. One more step is important here. You need to register yourself as a self-employed employee of your business at your local revenue office.

As your business revenue grows, and the annual turnover increases gradually, you can even switch your business into a limited firm.
