7. Forming a Private Limited Company
• You need 1 – 99 people who invest money and are
shareholders
• The people involved in forming a company are called
the promoters
• The promoters employ:
– An accountant – for financial advice
– A solicitor – to prepare the legal documents which must
be sent to the Companies Registration Office (CRO)
8. What documents must be filled out?
• Memorandum of Association – sets out the relationship of the
company to the general public, i.e. rules and regulations
governing how the company deals with the public
• Articles of Association – sets out the internal rules and
regulations of the company, e.g. shareholders voting rights, how
directors are elected, powers and duties of the directors
• Form A1 – sets out the details of the company, it’s directors and
their signatures (Declaration of Compliance with the Companies
Acts 1963 – 1990)

– It has a separate legal existence from its owners
– The shareholders have limited liability
– The company can sue and be sued in its own name
11. Board of Directors
• When the company is incorporated it will hold
a meeting of its shareholders who elect a

day-to-day basis
• They report to the shareholders annually on
the performance of the company at the
Annual General Meeting (AGM)
