Here at Com-Net, we specialise in the registration of all types of companies and provide you with the following once we have registered your chosen entity:

1. Certificate of Incorporation

7. Share certificates and any related share transfer forms post incorporation.

We can also arrange for companies to be registered in Northern Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales.

The five types of Irish companies / entities we specialise in are as follows:

Limited by Shares

A private company limited by shares is the most common form of entity registered in Ireland. The benefit of a limited liability company is that the liability of the shareholders is limited to the amount (if any) remaining unpaid on the shares held by them. A limited company is a separate legal entity and therefore distinct from its owners.

Limited companies must have a company secretary, two directors and at least one shareholder.

We can register a limited liability company on your behalf within 4 working days and provide you with everything you need from a Company Secretarial perspective to allow you to start trading.

Contact us for more information.

Limited by Guarantee

A guarantee company requires a company secretary, at least two directors and a minimum of seven members, with the liability of the members limited to the amount they have undertaken to contribute to the assets of the company, usually €1.

This type of company is mainly used for not-for-profit organisations, such as Charities and Golf Clubs for example.

Here the incorporation takes a little longer – contact us for more information.

Public Limited Company

A public limited company must have a minimum of seven members and a minimum paid issued share capital in excess of €38,000 before trading can commence. Please contact us in Dublin or Cork with any queries you may have in relation to the registration of a public limited company.

Unlimited Company

An unlimited company must have a minimum of two shareholders and as the name suggests, provides its members with no limit as to their liability should the company fail. It is therefore advised that individuals do not become registered as shareholders in this type of company. For more information on the registration of an unlimited company, please contact us.

External Company

External company’s or Branches are an Irish branch of a company incorporated in another company. All branches must have an Irish resident individual appointed as the authorised person to accept service. We can help all our foreign clients with their external company registration in Ireland, including the authorised person and all on-going annual compliance requirements.
