Company secretarial services in Ireland
Keep your company in good standing with the Companies Registration Office. We file your annual return on time, keep your statutory registers up to date and handle every change, from new directors to a new registered office.
Why it matters
Missed filings put your company at risk
The CRO is striking off companies that do not file their annual returns. A single late return brings a late filing fee, and late returns can cost you your audit exemption.
Directors are responsible for these filings, even if they did not know a deadline had passed. Many owners only find out when a letter arrives, or when their bank freezes the account.
We track every date for you and file the forms, so you can focus on running the business.

FAQ
Common questions
What is an annual return date?
Every Irish company has a date each year by which its annual return is made up. The return must be filed with the CRO within 56 days of that date. Your first annual return date is six months after incorporation.
Does my company need a company secretary?
Yes, every Irish company must have one. If your company has only one director, the secretary must be a different person. We can act as company secretary for you.
Our annual return is late. What should we do?
File it as soon as possible. The late filing fee grows each day, and the company may be at risk of strike-off. We can prepare and file overdue returns quickly.
Can you provide a registered office?
Yes. We can provide a registered office address in Dublin and make sure official post from the CRO and Revenue is dealt with.
Our company was struck off. Can it be restored?
Often, yes. Restoration is possible through the CRO or the courts, depending on how long ago the company was struck off. Act quickly, because it gets harder over time.
