CONSULTANCY SERVICES
Recognising every company’s individuality, here at
ICC we fully appreciate that no two assignments are
alike. When you “consult” our Company Secretarial
Department on a statutory or company law related matter,
you are assured that the elements of each particular case
are expertly appraised and the appropriate action taken
quickly and efficiently. As an unrivalled advice bureau,
when you entrust us with a Company Secretarial assignment
you can look forward to peace of mind and a job well done.
Not every company can justify the cost of employing a qualified
company secretary to attend to such matters. Here at ICC
we can provide you with the solution. We will provide the
services of our dedicated Company Secretarial Services Department
to address all your statutory needs. Indeed, we can even
provide the services of our in-house trust company to act
as named secretary to your company. A fixed annual fee is
charged for this facility. Any ancillary work then undertaken
would be charged out at our normal charge-out rates.
If you would like to get some information on any aspect
of this service or obtain a competitive quote for a particular
assignment, please contact
us.

BUSINESS NAME REGISTRATION
An individual, partnership or Company may carry on business
under a name other than their/its own.
In these cases registration with the Registrar of Business
Names is required within 1 month of the individual, partnership
or Company adopting this other name for business purposes.
If you would like to get some information on this registration
process, please contact
us.
Whereas no exclusivity is afforded business names –
any number of identical names can be registered – it
is important to remember that you must take care to avoid
using a name that is too similar to an existing business
as this could result in that other person/company taking
legal proceedings in a “passing off” action. Equally
one could easily infringe a registered Trade Mark.
We can advise you – just contact
us.

REGISTERED OFFICE & NOMINEE FACILITIES
Registered Office Facilities:
Your Company’s Registered Office Address is the company’s
formal address for legal purposes. It is the address to
which Companies Registration Office (CRO) and Revenue Commissioners
correspondence and all formal legal notices addressed to
the company will be sent.
The registered office can be anywhere in the State (Republic
of Ireland). The address must be a physical location, not
just a post office box number, because people have the right
to visit a company’s registered office to inspect certain
Registers and documents and to deliver documents by hand.
ICC offers a professional Registered Office facility to
its Irish and international clients. This provides those
clients who avail of this service with a measure of comfort
knowing that all relevant matters will be dealt with promptly
and expeditiously.
Nominee Facilities:
ICC can provide nominee shareholder and Company
Secretary facilities.
If you would like to get some information on any aspect
of this service or obtain a competitive quote for a particular
assignment, please contact
us.

COMPANY BOND FOR NON-RESIDENT DIRECTOR
With effect from 18th April 2001 every Irish Company is
required to have at least one Director who is resident in
the State (Republic of Ireland). The definition of “residency”
is set out in the Companies Acts.
There are however exceptions to this basic rule.
One of these is that the requirement does not apply to
a Company which holds a Company Bond to the value of €25,400.
This Bond is a form of insurance where the insurer agrees
to meet certain debts of the Company to, say, the Revenue
Commissioners where the Company fails to do so. The Company
pays a premium for this Bond.
ICC, after detailed discussions involving
insurers, the Companies Registration Office and the office
of the Attorney General has made arrangements for the provision
of a Company Bond that fully meets legal requirements.
A Bond must be entered into for a minimum of two years
and must be renewed every two years.
If a Company fails to comply with these requirements, the
Company and every officer will be guilty of an offence and
may be prosecuted by the Registrar of Companies.
ICC would be pleased to take your instructions in
relation to obtaining this Company Bond – just contact
us.
