CRO annual returns, company secretarial, and regulatory compliance. Keeping your company in good standing with the Companies Registration Office.
Company compliance is not glamorous, but it is essential. Every Irish company must file annual returns with the CRO, maintain statutory registers, and meet a growing list of regulatory obligations. Miss a deadline and you face fines, loss of audit exemption, and ultimately the threat of being struck off the register.
Right now, over 35,000 Irish companies are facing involuntary strike-off for failing to file their annual returns. If your company is one of them, or if you simply want to make sure it never happens, we can help.
Talk to Paddy about company compliance -- free initial consultation.
We manage all of your company compliance obligations so you can focus on running your business. From CRO annual returns to beneficial ownership registration, company formations to director changes, we handle the paperwork and make sure everything is filed correctly and on time.
The B1 annual return must be filed with the CRO every year, confirming your company details, directors, shareholders, and registered office. Late filing results in penalties starting at 100 euro per day and the automatic loss of your audit exemption for two years. We track all deadlines and file on time, every time.
Since 2019, all Irish companies must also file details of their beneficial owners with the Central Register of Beneficial Ownership. This identifies the individuals who ultimately own or control the company. We handle this registration as a standard part of our compliance service.
When you need to make changes to your company -- appointing or resigning directors, changing your registered office, updating your company constitution -- these must be notified to the CRO within fourteen days. We manage all company secretarial changes promptly and correctly.
If your company has already been threatened with strike-off or has been struck off the register, contact us immediately. We can file outstanding returns, apply to halt strike-off proceedings, and in many cases restore a company to the register. Time is critical in these situations, so do not delay.
Paddy has looked after our accounts for over fifteen years. He is always available when we need him and nothing is ever too much trouble. He genuinely cares about our business doing well.
