Document background
The Business Registration Form is a mandatory document required for establishing any new business entity in Ireland. It must be submitted to the Companies Registration Office (CRO) and forms the legal basis for business operations under Irish law. This document is designed to collect comprehensive information about the business, including its structure, ownership, management, and intended activities. It ensures compliance with the Companies Act 2014, tax regulations, and anti-money laundering requirements. The form serves multiple purposes: it registers the business with relevant authorities, establishes its legal status, initiates tax registration, and creates an official record of beneficial ownership. Whether registering a sole tradership, partnership, or limited company, this form is the primary document that initiates the legal existence of a business entity in Ireland.
