Company Name Change Procedure

Changing the name of an Irish Limited Company is a straightforward process if you use the services of Incorpro. We ensure a hassle-free experience, guiding you through each step efficiently. With our assistance, your company can have a new name in just 3 days. Here’s how it works:

1. Shareholders pass a Special Resolution

The first step is for the Shareholders to pass a Special Resolution, which is a resolution approved by at least 75% of the Shareholders based on voting rights. This can be done by notifying the company or at a Meeting, to notify the Directors of the company name change.

If you would like to know more about Written Resolutions, please visit our extensive Library for more detailed information on the topic.

2. Directors amend the Constitution

Once the Special Resolution is passed, the Directors must amend the company’s Constitution to reflect the new name. They will verify the availability of the new name and may also want to Reserve the Company Name before filing the documentation, to ensure it is not taken by another entity.

If you wish to learn more about the Constitution, please visit this section of our Library for more detailed information.

3. Directors notify the CRO

The Directors need to notify the Companies Registration Office (CRO) of the Special Resolution using Form G1Q within 15 days of its passing. The altered Constitution must also be submitted to the CRO along with the Form G1Q Signature Page.

If you wish to know more about the Constitution and the Shareholders, we recommend our detailed Guidance Article which holds a wealth of information.

4. CRO update Registrar and Directors notify Stakeholders

Upon receiving the Form G1Q, the CRO will confirm acceptance and ensure all documents are in order. Within 2-3 days, the CRO updates the Registrar to reflect the new Company Name and issues a Certificate of Change of Name. The Directors should then order a Company Seal and notify all relevant Stakeholders (banks, suppliers, customers, Revenue Commissioners, etc.)

You can order your new Company Seal through Incorpro for only €49 + VAT. However, should you choose our service for changing your Company's Name, then the Company Seal will be included in the price as outlined above.
