Registering a Company/Business Name

Every business that wishes to trade as limited company must be registered with the Companies Registration Office in Dublin. The necessary form can be downloaded from their site.

In addition, if an individual wishes to trade under a name other than his/her own name then it would be prudent to register that name with the Companies Registration Office.
