BUSINESS NAME REGISTRATIONS
Irish Sole Trader or Partnerships
Some people start their businesses as either a sole traders or partnerships as an alternative to trading as a limited company. This involves the registration of a business name with the Companies Registration Office. It should be noted, however, that no protection is given to the name registered, i.e. There is nothing to stop someone else registering the same name that you have registered (unlike a company) Please note that limited liability does not exist for a sole trader or partnership, as the business is not considered a separate legal entity from those involved. Only residents of the Republic of Ireland can register as Sole Traders or Partnerships in Ireland. For Irish Residents who are non-EU nationals, please note you must have Stamp 4 and a letter of business permission from the Department of Justice to register a business name as a Sole Trader or Partnership.
Business Name Under a Limited Company/ Trade Name
Private Limited Companies (LTD) are no longer restricted in the activities that they can carry out by their Constitution since the Companies Act 2014 commenced into Irish law. After a Private Limited Company has been incorporated, it may choose to register additional business trade name(s) for its various business activities to avoid confusion when it comes to suppliers and customers.
FILING OF ANNUAL RETURNS IN IRELAND
Irish Companies are required under statutory legislation to file an Annual Return and Accounts each year with the Companies Registration Office in Ireland. Failure to comply with this regulation can have serious implications, including substantial fines which accumulate on a daily basis, loss of audit exemption for 2 years, and possible involuntary dissolution of the company and legal action against the Directors by the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE).
It is important to note the first Annual Return for an Irish Company is due 6 months after incorporation, and every 12 months thereafter. No accounts are required with the first Annual Return. The Annual Return date (ARD) can be changed from the 2nd Annual Return onwards (no more than once every 5 years) A company must file an Annual Return in every calendar year, and the accounts must be made up to a date no more than 9 months before the ARD.
SVCO can assist you with this statutory requirement, as well as advise on any other company secretarial and compliance matters. In fact, we can look after all your corporate governance and statutory requirements leaving you to concentrate on managing your business
