Home/Company Formation
Start the company the right way round.
Irish company formation and the registrations, systems and support a new business needs in its first year.
Company formation
Set-up decisions are cheap to get right and expensive to unpick.
Share structure, directors, registered office, tax registrations and the year-end date all get decided in the first few weeks of a company's life, usually by someone who is focused on winning their first customer.
We take that off your desk, get the company formed and registered properly, and put the bookkeeping, VAT and payroll groundwork in place so the first year does not turn into a clean-up exercise.
Irish company formation
Company incorporation with the Companies Registration Office, including the constitution, share structure, director and secretary details and registered office.
Tax registration
Registration with Revenue for corporation tax, and for VAT, PAYE and Relevant Contracts Tax where the business needs them.
Business name registration guidance
Guidance for sole traders and partnerships on registering a business name and the obligations that come with trading in Ireland.
Bookkeeping and cloud accounting set-up
A cloud bookkeeping system configured for the business, with bank feeds, invoicing and a chart of accounts that matches how you actually operate.
Payroll set-up
Employer registration and payroll set-up, including director payroll from the first pay run.
VAT registration
Assessment of whether and when the business needs to register, and handling the registration if it does.
Start-up financial planning
First-year forecasts covering set-up costs, working capital and the tax payments that new owners are most often unprepared for.
Ongoing accounting support
Continuing bookkeeping, accounts, tax and payroll once the business is trading, so nothing is dropped after formation.

Already trading as a sole trader?
Moving from sole trader to a limited company has accounting and tax consequences in both directions. We will look at your figures and set out what changes before you decide either way.
Consultations
Book a start-up consultation
Book online, call the office or send an enquiry, whichever suits you. Tell us a little about the business when you get in touch and the first conversation starts in the right place.
Next step
Getting a new business off the ground?
Book a consultation before you incorporate. It is a much shorter conversation than fixing it afterwards.
