After Incorporation

Company registration is only the beginning

Once an Irish company is incorporated, it needs appropriate accounting records and may need tax, VAT or payroll registrations depending on its activities.

Stratancy can connect the company setup process with the accounting systems and recurring compliance needed once the company begins trading.

Post-incorporation support can include

  • Cloud accounting setup
  • Bookkeeping
  • Corporation Tax registration support
  • VAT registration where required
  • PAYE employer registration where required
  • Payroll setup
  • Annual accounts and company compliance

Change a Company

Update an existing Irish company

Companies change over time. Directors move, shareholders change, registered offices move and business structures evolve. Keeping CRO records current helps maintain a clean company record.

Director changes

Support with routine director appointments or resignations and the associated CRO filing requirements where within scope.

Registered office changes

Update the company registered office details and coordinate the relevant CRO filing.

Company name changes

Support with the administrative steps involved in changing the registered company name, subject to CRO requirements and name availability.

Company secretary changes

Update company secretary details and help coordinate the relevant company filing where required.

Share-related changes

Support with straightforward share changes where appropriate, subject to the company records, constitution and any legal requirements.

Company information updates

Help keep core company information aligned with the records held by the Companies Registration Office.

Non-Resident Company Formation

Setting up an Irish company from abroad

International founders can establish Irish companies, but director residency rules need to be considered before incorporation.

Where the company does not have a director who satisfies the relevant EEA residency requirement, a Section 137 bond or another available statutory route may need to be considered.

We review the proposed setup before filing so the founder understands what additional steps may be needed.

Non-resident setup considerations

  • Director residency
  • Section 137 bond where relevant
  • Shareholder structure
  • Registered office
  • Irish tax registration
  • Accounting and bookkeeping setup
  • Banking and operational readiness

Close a Company

Company closure and voluntary strike-off support

If an Irish company is no longer required, the appropriate closure route depends on its financial position, outstanding obligations and company records.

For straightforward companies that meet the relevant conditions, voluntary strike-off may be an appropriate route. Companies with debts, significant assets or insolvency issues may require a different process.

Voluntary strike-off

For companies that are no longer trading and meet the relevant conditions for voluntary strike-off from the Companies Register.

Accounting and tax cleanup before closure

Outstanding bookkeeping, tax returns or company accounts may need to be brought up to date before a closure process can proceed.

Revenue and CRO coordination

We can help coordinate the accounting and tax work required as part of a straightforward company closure process.

Voluntary Strike-Off

Closing a company that is no longer needed

Voluntary strike-off is intended for companies that meet the relevant statutory conditions and no longer need to remain on the Companies Register.

Before beginning the process, outstanding bookkeeping, tax filings, annual returns and company records may need to be reviewed and brought up to date.

Closure preparation may include

  • Review of company trading status
  • Outstanding bookkeeping review
  • Tax return review
  • CRO filing review
  • Revenue position
  • Company bank and balance-sheet review
  • Coordination of voluntary strike-off paperwork

Important

Not every company can use voluntary strike-off

A company with unpaid debts, significant assets, unresolved liabilities or insolvency issues may require a formal liquidation or insolvency process rather than voluntary strike-off.

Stratancy can assist with the accounting and tax work around a company closure, but where formal liquidation is required the appointment of an appropriately qualified liquidator is necessary.

Unsure which closure route applies?

Tell us whether the company is still trading, has debts or assets, and whether its tax and CRO filings are up to date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Company Setup, Changes & Closure FAQs

How much does it cost to set up a company in Ireland?

Stratancy company setup currently starts from €249 for straightforward Irish or EU/EEA founder cases and from €349 for non-EEA founder cases requiring additional residency review. The exact scope is confirmed before work begins.

Can a non-resident set up a company in Ireland?

Yes. Non-residents can establish Irish companies, but director residency rules need to be considered. In some cases a Section 137 bond or another permitted route may be relevant.

Does an Irish company need an Irish-resident director?

Irish company law generally requires at least one director to be resident in the EEA unless the company has an appropriate bond or qualifies for another statutory exemption. The exact position should be reviewed for the proposed company structure.

Can Stratancy help with CRO registration?

Yes. We can support the incorporation process and help coordinate the information required for a straightforward Irish private limited company registration.

Can you help set up accounting after incorporation?

Yes. We can connect company formation with bookkeeping, payroll, VAT registration, Corporation Tax and recurring accounting support.

Can you change a company director in Ireland?

Yes. We can support straightforward director appointments and resignations and coordinate the relevant CRO filing where within scope.

Can you change the registered office of an Irish company?

Yes. Registered office changes can be supported and the relevant CRO update can be coordinated.

How do I close an Irish company that is no longer trading?

A company that meets the relevant conditions may be eligible for voluntary strike-off. Before applying, the company may need to bring tax, accounting and CRO matters up to date.

Can Stratancy liquidate a company?

Stratancy can assist with the accounting and tax work surrounding a company closure, but formal liquidation requires an appropriately qualified liquidator where that route is necessary.

What if the company owes money and cannot pay its debts?

Voluntary strike-off is not appropriate for every company. If a company is insolvent or unable to pay its debts, specialist insolvency and liquidation advice may be required.
