| Forming a new Irish company is only the beginning... Company formation is, of course, the most obvious service we can provide to you. In even our most basic package for £280, Coddan includes all of the most important documents you will need: original Certificate of Incorporation, printed and bound copy of Memorandum & Articles of Association, first board meeting minutes, share certificates, and company register. Basic facts, explanations, and guidance Coddan knows that it is normal to have general inquiries about the overall company formation process, compliance and procedure, and the preparation and filing of certain documents. This is why we make our consultants accessible via Live Chat, E-mail or by phone to ask any inquiry you may have. | | |  | |  | | What are benefits of an Irish company formation? Aside from being the largest company registration jurisdiction of the two Irelands, the primary advantage of starting your business in the Republic of Ireland is primarily related to tax: the introduction of a 12.5% corporate tax has made this a popular haven for many. |  | | |  | Directors and Secretaries’ responsibilitiesAll members of an Irish company should be completely aware of the duties and responsibilities required of them. In simple terms, the directors constitute the decision making body of a company, commonly known as the board of directors, and are legally liable for a company's actions. Furthermore, a company secretary occupies a pivotal position in an Irish company and has direct legal responsibility to maintain company records, file annual returns and carry out any other functions that may be described within the company’s Memorandum & Articles of Association. Power of AttorneyPowers of attorney (POA) are documents granted by the board of directors in favour of third parties, known as attorneys-in-fact, in order to allow them to carry out functions deemed desirable by the board of directors. The use of POA is common when nominee members are appointed within a company. | Mail Forwarding It is not uncommon for the owners of a company to conduct much of their business outside of the country in which their company is based. For this reason, Coddan has organised a virtual office service to our clients. From our Dublin address, your mail will be sent to the location of your choice. | Call Handling Furthermore, we offer call diversion capabilities: this allows for your company calls to be answered by a professional operator, and to be forwarded directly to you. | | Setting up your business account can be made more convenient by requesting an Irish bank introduction at the Bank of Ireland through Coddan. Contact an advisor for further details. Legalisation of documents is usually necessary in order to conduct most business activities outside of the country in which your company is based. For this reason, Coddan offers an expedited service, available to be requested online. | | |  | |
