Part 1 - Introduction
The Companies Registration Office (CRO) works under the aegis of the Departmen
of Enterprise, Trade and Employment. It is the central repository of public statutory
company law related information on Irish companies. The main functions of the Office
are:
• Incorporation of companies
• Registration of company post-incorporation documentation
• Enforcement of the Companies Act 2014 in relation
to filing obligations of companies
• Registration of business names/changes in business name particulars
• Making information available to the public
The CRO Mission Statement is:
to oversee the highest possible rate and quality of annual return filing on the part of
companies in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions and to ensure that
information on companies published in turn by the CRO is timely and accurately
reflects the information provided by those companies.

Part 2 - Overview of 2020 2020 was an extremely challenging year for the CRO and its stakeholders due to the COVID 19 pandemic. The CRO Public Office in Dublin was closed on 12th March 2020 due to COVID 19 restrictions and had not reopened by year end. The entire office closed following the imposition of lockdown by Government in late March, reopening on a limited basis for essential work that could not be done from home the following week. Arrangements were quickly made for staff to work from home and gradually the full range of services to our customers was restored. In light of the difficulties being experienced by companies and presenters, the Registrar suspended enforcement activity in March 2020 and it had not resumed by year end. On the 18th of March, following a decision by the Registrar, the Minister announced that companies who were due to file their annual returns would be deemed to have filed on time if all elements of the annual return were received in the office by 30th of June 2020. Following a review of the position by the Registrar in May 2020, it was announced that this filing extension would be extended to 31st of October. The position was reviewed again during September and it was announced that all companies with an annual return date on or after 30th September 2020 would be deemed to have filed on time if all elements of their annual return were received by CRO by 26th of February 2021. 4 | CRO Annual Report 2020
2020 saw the culmination of a major three-year IT project in CRO which went live on
16th of December.
251,275 Irish companies were in existence on the register at the end of the year,
resulting in over 431,000 submissions being filed with the CRO during 2020. Private
limited by shares companies make up 89% of all companies on the register.
The number of new companies being added to the register has exceeded the numbers
being removed. This has been the case for some years, although during 2020 the
increase was exacerbated by the suspension of involuntary strike offs in March 2020.
Over 81% of all documents filed with CRO in 2020 were filed electronically

Applications to the High Court/District Court for an Order Extending Time to File
Section 343(5) of the Companies Act 2014 states that a company which is late in filing
its annual return can make an application to the Court (High Court or the District
Court for the district in which the company’s registered office is situated) for an order
extending the time to file its annual return for that year. It should be noted that only
one application can be made to the court in respect of any one financial year and only
“live” companies may make an application to the courts under this section – it is not a
process available to dissolved companies.
Once an order is granted by the Court and complied with by the company, the annual
return will be treated as being on-time and the company will not be required to pay
late filing fees or suffer loss of audit exemption. In 2020, CRO received 342 notices of
applications from companies to the District Court or the High Court.
The CRO issued a total of 336 Letters of Acknowledgement/No Objection/Objection
and processed 278 Orders granted by the District Court/High Court. Two applications
were refused by the Courts and six applications were withdrawn. Forty-one
applications were adjourned from 2020 to 2021.

The effect of these Commencement Orders is to provide for the amalgamation of the
CRO Annual Report 2020 | 7
previous two 28-day periods in the annual returns filing process to provide companies
with 56 days to complete their returns in a single step.
Unregistered Auditors
In 2020, there were no reports of unregistered auditors attempting to file false
auditors’ reports. There were 19 instances where auditors notified the CRO that
their Auditors Registration Number (ARN) was used to file auditors’ reports without
permission.
The CRO continues to monitor the controls which reduce the risk of such incidences
reoccurring. The mechanism in place, allowing auditors to immediately alert the CRO
of an abuse of their registration number, continues to operate effectively.
Redevelopment of IT resources
In 2020 the CRO completed its project to redevelop the CRO databases which house
the register of companies, the register of business names and the register of limited
partnerships. The update of the system required a full refresh and the new platform
went live on 16th of December. Prior to go live, over 700GB of data and 18 million
images were transferred to the new platform. This necessitated the shutdown of the
CORE system for 9 days from 7th of December to allow sufficient time for the data
migration in advance of go live. This involved teams in the office dealing with the
day to day task of ensuring that all filings received by the cut-off date were taken in
and processed on time while technical teams ensured that the data was successfully
migrated.
The new platform offers a modern, customer focused, streamlined portal with an
integrated account top up facility and provides for a number of enhancements such as:
• Paperless online filings – all attachments and
signature pages can now be uploaded.
• Twenty new forms are available to file online, including many solvency forms.
• Online payments can now be redirected to a third party
which is useful in the case of large fees.
• Online signatures can be redirected for example directors can
be emailed a line to sign and upload signature pages.
• Filing forms and document ordering are now available through a single portal.
The commencement of the Companies (Amendment) Act 2019 introduced the single
56 day filing period for annual returns. The option to incorporate a company manually
was withdrawn on 16th of December 2020 and it is now mandatory to use the online
process for the incorporation of new companies.

Provision of information to the public
Over 313,000 documents were purchased from the CRO website in 2020 and the
website was visited 2.1m times. All statutory information provided by companies
to the CRO is available to the public for inspection on payment of a small fee where
applicable. Certain vital information, such as company name and registered office
address, may be checked free of charge on the CORE portal
https://core.cro.ie
Information Unit
There continued to be a high volume of phone calls to the CRO Information Unit
throughout 2020. The phone number for the Information Unit is 00 353 1 8045200/
Lo call 1890 220 226. Over 29,450 phone calls were answered as well as over 26,500
emails. (Email address croinfo@enterprise.gov.ie).
Customer Complaints and Requests for information
If a customer is unhappy with the service delivered by the CRO and the issue cannot
be resolved with the staff member or section dealing with the matter, a formal
complaint can be made to the CRO Information Officer. The complaint will be dealt
with in accordance with the CRO’s Complaint Procedure. If the complainant is still not
satisfied, the complainant has the right of appeal to the Office of the Ombudsman.
Twenty official complaints were received during 2020, four of which were referred to
the Office of the Ombudsman. None of the complaints referred to the Ombudsman
were upheld. In addition, the CRO dealt with 3 requests under the Freedom of
Information Act and 2 GDPR requests.

Part 3 - The Company Lifecycle Incorporation of a company A company is a legal form of business organisation. It is a separate legal entity and, therefore, is distinct from those who run it. There are two basic company types, 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. The Companies Act 2014 generally allows one or more persons to form a private company for any lawful purpose by subscribing to a constitution. A private company may have a maximum of 149 members and there is no limit on the number of members of a public company. All company types, with the exception of the Private Company Limited by Shares (LTD), must have one secretary and a minimum of two directors. (Single director LTDs must have a separate secretary). Formal qualifications are not required to be a company director. All company directors must be over 18 years of age. All company officers have wide responsibilities in law. In 2020, the number of new companies incorporated was 21,873. This represents a decrease compared to 2019 volumes and was mainly due to a significant reduction in the number of incorporations during March, April and May 2020 due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Volumes of incorporations dropped to a low of 1,067 during April and 10 | CRO Annual Report 2020
increased gradually to reach an all-time monthly record of 2,830 in November. During
2020 there was an average of 1,822 new companies registered per month, compared
to a monthly average of 1,894 in 2019. While there was a reduction in incorporations
during 2020 compared to 2019, the general trend over recent years has been a steady
increase in incorporations, predating the enactment of the Companies Act 2014 and
the decision of the United Kingdom to leave the European Union.
As a result of SI 629 of 2020, which came into effect on 16th of December 2020,
online filing is now mandatory for new company incorporations. There are two
incorporation schemes. CRO has committed to the following customer service targets
for registration of new companies under the relevant schemes:-
• Fé Phráinn Scheme - 5 working days
• Ordinary A1 Online Scheme - 10 working days
Despite the increase in the number of companies being incorporated, CRO continued
to meet its customer service targets during 2020 within existing resources.

CRO Annual Report 2020 | 11External Companies There were 46 new external company registrations in 2020. The most common country of origin for new registrations for external companies was the Cayman Islands with 23 registrations. Registration of company post-incorporation documentation Changes in the situation of a company’s registered office or changes amongst a company’s officers or in their particulars must be notified to the CRO on the relevant statutory form. The form must be properly completed and signed by a current officer of the company per the CRO records in accordance with the Companies Act 2014. As the size of the register has grown, so have the number of filings. There were 67,523 B10 forms (change in director/secretary information) filed in 2020 which increases the accuracy of the register. There were also 16,292 B2 forms (change of registered office) filed during 2020. Annual Returns Every company on the register, whether trading or not, is required to submit an Annual Return every year. An annual return includes details of the company’s directors and secretary, its registered office, and details of its shareholders and share capital. It must be signed by a director and by the company secretary. If the secretary is also a director, he/she may not sign in both capacities. Company financial statements are required to be annexed to a company’s annual return in most cases. There were 194,515 annual returns received in the CRO in 2020. Any company which is late in filing its annual return is likely to face either strike-off proceedings or prosecution in the District Court. Re-Registrations Under the Companies Act 2014, it is possible to change from any company type to another company type e.g. from limited to unlimited, from private to public or from limited by shares to limited by guarantee or vice versa, subject to the requirements of Part 20 of the Act. In 2020, a total of 355 companies re-registered, down from the high of 676 in 2016. Mortgages and Charges 8,856 charges were filed in 2020. This is a reduction on the figure of 12,406 for 2019 and is the lowest figure since 2013. 12 | CRO Annual Report 2020

Liquidations and appointment of Receivers
Up-to-date registers of liquidations, appointment of receivers and examiners were
maintained by registering all documents received within agreed business plan
timeframes. The number of liquidations decreased by 12% compared to 2019.
Types of liquidation registered:
Year Members Creditors Court Total
2016 1,112 581 61 1,754

2019 1,472 611 67 2,150
2020 1,397 443 49 1,889
Liquidators are required to submit form E3 (Account of act and dealings) and form
E4 (s681 account and affidavit). Receivers are required to submit form E9 (receivers
abstract). The numbers of return submissions by liquidators and receivers rose
considerably in 2018 and 2019 as a result of a reminder programme that was begun in
2018 but dropped back somewhat in 2020. The reminder programme was suspended
in March 2020 due to the pandemic and had not resumed by year end.

2019 10,159 4,350 5,950
2020 6,865 2,842 3,427
There is a continuing decrease in the number of companies where receivers were
appointed over assets of the company - down from 344 in 2017, 167 in 2018, to 114 in
2019 and 84 in 2020.
Register of restricted and disqualified persons
The register of disqualified and restricted directors was also maintained, while reports
of companies in liquidation continued to issue to ODCE on a regular basis. By year
end, 3,328 persons were on the register of disqualified persons and 615 persons were
on the register of restricted persons. The disqualified and restricted registers can be
searched online at www.cro.ie. This facility is updated daily.
ICAVs
The Register of Irish Collective Asset – Management Vehicles (ICAVs) is maintained by
the Central Bank of Ireland. The CRO is required under the legislation to de-register
companies who have registered as ICAVs with the Central Bank. A certificate of
de-registration of the company is issued, the Register records the de-registration
of the company and notice of the removal of the company is published in the CRO
Gazette. In 2020, four companies were de-registered.
Enforcement, prosecution and striking companies off the register of companies
A company can be dissolved either through liquidation or strike-off. Strike-off is not
always involuntary. A company that ceases to trade and has no outstanding creditors
can request the Registrar to strike the company off the register.
In 2020 CRO continued to enforce the Companies Act 2014 against companies in
default of their annual return filing obligations by way of involuntary strike-off until
enforcement activity was suspended in March 2020 due to the pandemic. Enforcement
activity had not resumed by year end.
Involuntary Strike-Off
The number of companies involuntarily struck off the register in 2020 was 1,266 which
represented a significant decrease over the number of involuntary strike-offs in 2019
14 | CRO Annual Report 2020(5,068). This reduction is due to the suspension of enforcement activity by the CRO in
March 2020 due to the pandemic.
Voluntary Strike-Off
Voluntary strike-off is a statutory process under the Companies Act 2014. A total of
5,479 companies were struck off voluntarily in 2020, which is a decrease of 9% over
2019. Voluntary strike off was also suspended for some time due to the pandemic and
resumed in August 2020.
Restoration to the Register
A company can be restored to the register following strike-off. Where a company has
been struck off the register for a period not exceeding 12 months, an application can
be made by the company to the Registrar for restoration. Once the 12 months has
elapsed, it is only possible to restore the company via Court Order Restoration. A
total of 232 companies were restored to the register, a 47% decrease on the number
restored in 2019.
Prosecutions for failing to file annual returns
A total of 23 cases were prosecuted by the CRO in 2020 for failure to file annual
returns, 6 of which were adjourned from 2019. A further three cases were brought
against company directors.
In cases brought before the courts, one case was convicted, and the Probation Act
was applied to 12 cases. No cases were withdrawn or struck out. Thirteen cases were
adjourned.
In the case where a conviction was secured, a fine of €1,000 was imposed.
CRO Annual Report 2020 | 15Part 4 - Other Entities Registered by the CRO
Business Names
The Registration of Business Names Act 1963 provides transparency in relation
to persons trading under a name other than their own. It is obligatory to register a
business name if any individual or partnership (whether composed of individuals or
bodies corporate or any combination of both) or body corporate carries on business
under a name other than their own true names. Its purpose is to make public the
identities of those individual(s), partnerships or corporate bodies being the legal entity
behind the business name. Registration of a business name does not result in the
creation of an entity with separate legal personality.
The number of new business names registered by the CRO in 2020 was 21,592 an
increase of 4% on 2019 when 20,723 were registered. 94.4% of new business name
applications were filed electronically in 2020.

Limited Partnerships
The Limited Partnership Act 1907 facilitates the creation of a partnership in which
some members have limited liability for the debts of the firm. Their liability is limited
to the extent of the amount of capital contributed by them to the partnership. As with
a general partnership, a limited partnership is not a separate legal entity. 214 Limited
Partnerships were registered in 2020, a reduction on the number registered in 2019
(305) but still an abnormally high number compared to the long-term trend.
CRO Annual Report 2020 | 17Part 5 - Corporate Function in the CRO
The 2020 expenditure for the CRO was €7.47m. This also includes expenditure in
relation to the operation of the Registry of Friendly Societies and the Register of
Beneficial Ownership.

Income 2020
CRO received €12.89 million in 2020, which represents a decrease of 27% on the
2019 figure of €17.6m. This reduction was due to two factors, the fall in the level of
late filing fees received and the reduction in the number of submissions filed with
the Office. The figure includes income received in respect of the Registry of Friendly
Societies and the Register of Beneficial Ownership.
There has continued to be a reduction in late filing fees paid. This was mainly due to
the filing extensions granted in response to the pandemic but is also part of a longer-
term trend towards increased compliance with filing obligations. 8,288 companies
paid late filing fees during 2020 meaning that the average late filing fee paid by each of
these companies was €450.

Since the introduction of mandatory e-filing of the annual return (Form B1) and the
