COmpany Incorporation and business name registration
Types of company - Basically, there are two types of company, a private company and a public company.
The majority of companies registered in Ireland are private companies and, of those, most are small with only one or two members.
There are four types of private company:
- Private limited by share capital
- Single member private limited by capital
- Unlimited company
- Guaranteed limited company with share capital
There are three types of public company:
- Public limited company
- Public unlimited company
- Guaranteed company without share capital
Addtional information - All forms (and associated filing fees) and information leaflets referred to in this publication are available at www.cro.ie
The Companies Acts generally allow one or more persons to form a private company for any lawful purpose by subscribing to a memorandum of association. However, a public limited company, a public unlimited company, or a company limited by guarantee not having a share capital, must have at least seven subscribers. A private company may have a maximum of 50 members and there is no limit on the number of members of a public company.
