Company formation

The Company Limited by guarantee partnership is the ideal business model for individuals or organizations who want to secure the conveniences of a separate legal personality and of limited liability without the need to raise funds from the partners. This legal structure is mostly implemented by charity organizations, trade unions, society-based bodies and clubs dealing with sporting activities.  Non-governmental organizations (NGO) and not-for-profit firms also opt for CLG partnership.

Foreigners who want to expand their businesses in Ireland can choose from two options, either a branch or a subsidiary office. The difference between the two is determined by the degree of independence the establishment can have when discussing in terms of the parent company.
