Join BetaWhat the RBO requires
Every Irish corporate entity must identify its beneficial owners — any individual who ultimately owns or controls more than 25% of the shares, voting rights, or otherwise exercises control — and file them with the Central Register of Beneficial Ownership (RBO). Updates must be filed within 14 days of any change. Failure is a criminal offence carrying fines up to €500,000.
Look-through ownership is the hard part
Most Irish entities sit inside a group structure. Calculating beneficial ownership means looking through trusts, foreign parents, holding companies and SPVs to identify the ultimate individuals. Doing this by hand for one entity is tedious. For a portfolio of 20 entities with cross-ownership, it's a permanent rolling project. EntityFlo automates the calculation. The beneficial ownership map looks through every intermediate vehicle and identifies who must be reported, every time the structure changes.
Tracking the 14-day window
EntityFlo monitors every change that could trigger an RBO update — cap table movements, trust changes, officer appointments with control influence — and surfaces the notification in the workflow inbox immediately.
Audit trail for every filing
Every RBO filing is timestamped and linked to the exact ownership data it was generated from. If the RBO ever queries a calculation, the working is auditable end-to-end.

Frequently asked questions
Which entities must file with the RBO?
All Irish-incorporated corporate and legal entities, including private limited companies, DACs, CLGs, unlimited companies, partnerships and ICAVs.
What if there are no beneficial owners above 25%?
In that case, the senior managing officials (typically directors and senior officers) must be filed as beneficial owners. EntityFlo handles this automatically.
Does EntityFlo file directly with the RBO?
EntityFlo prepares the RBO data and tracks the 14-day window. Direct integration with the RBO portal is on the roadmap; today, filings are prepared in EntityFlo and lodged via the RBO portal.
How is this different from EU 4MLD/5MLD generic tools?
EntityFlo applies Irish RBO rules specifically — thresholds, senior managing officials fallback, 14-day windows — rather than generic EU beneficial ownership logic.
