Overview

A Designated Activity Company is an Irish limited company with stated objects in its constitution.

It is used where the business needs its corporate capacity tied to defined activities, including certain regulated, financing and joint-venture structures. Coutts Consultants coordinates irish designated activity company (dac) formation as a defined Irish professional service.

The engagement begins with the client's objective and a service-specific review of objects clause, shareholders, directors, company secretary, registered office, share capital and constitution. We then establish the appropriate route, assemble the required information and coordinate the filing, application or professional work with the relevant Irish authority, institution or specialist. Where Irish law reserves the work to a solicitor, tax adviser, auditor, immigration practitioner or other regulated professional, that work is undertaken by an appropriately qualified provider.

Registrations, licences, permits, banking and regulatory approvals remain subject to the decision of the relevant authority or institution.
