Form B1 filing for Irish company groups
CRO Annual Return Software for Irish Companies (Form B1)
Form B1 annual returns generated from your live register, tracked against each entity's Annual Return Date and lodged with the CRO via CORE.
Your first entity is free. No credit card required.
EntityFlo manages CRO annual return (Form B1) compliance for Irish limited companies. It tracks the Annual Return Date for each entity, pre-fills B1 forms from your register, and helps you avoid the loss-of-audit-exemption penalty for late filing.
What breaks once you pass five entities.
The CRO does not send reminders
Tracking the Annual Return Date is the company's own responsibility, and missing it triggers automatic penalties.
Loss of audit exemption is the real cost
A late Form B1 means losing audit exemption for the next two financial years: a substantial cost for small companies.
Ten-plus Irish entities means ten-plus ARDs to track
Without a system watching every review date, a busy month becomes a fire drill.
Built for Irish corporate secretaries
EntityFlo is built for Irish company secretaries and general counsel running portfolios of 5–200+ entities, including DACs, CLGs and partnerships.
ARD tracking across a portfolio
Every entity's Annual Return Date is tracked, with the 56-day window applied automatically and alerts well ahead of the deadline.
Form B1 pre-filled
Directors, secretary, registered office, share capital and members are pulled straight from the live register.
Avoid the audit exemption penalty
Automated deadline tracking removes the single biggest cause of late filings and the two-year audit exemption loss that follows.
RBO compliance built in
Beneficial ownership data is tracked at the natural-person level and generated alongside B1 filings.

What Form B1 compliance actually covers
Ireland's annual return regime is unforgiving: miss the 56-day window and penalties start immediately, with audit exemption loss to follow.

Because We’ve Done the Work Ourselves.
EntityFlo was built by people who understand the complexity, risk and manual work behind managing corporate groups.
"We went from spreadsheets and email chains to having every entity, every officer, and every deadline in one place. The compliance AI alone has saved us from three potential ASIC penalties."
"EntityFlo's structure charts finally gave our board the visibility they needed. Every ownership chain mapped, every UBO calculated. The lenders were impressed."
"Managing 40+ trusts and companies across three generations was chaos. EntityFlo made it simple. The compliance alerts alone are worth the price."
One flat monthly rate. Scales with your group.
No per-document fees. No per-filing fees. No paywalled AI tier.
The questions buyers actually ask.
What is the Annual Return Date?
The ARD is the anniversary of incorporation by default, though it can be changed once. Companies have 56 days from their ARD to file Form B1.
What happens if I file Form B1 late?
A €100 penalty plus €3 per day (capped at €1,200), plus loss of audit exemption for two years. The penalty is automatic: there is no discretionary relief.
Does EntityFlo connect to CORE?
EntityFlo prepares B1 forms and tracks deadlines. CORE submission integration is on the roadmap; today, forms are prepared in EntityFlo and lodged via the CORE portal.
Do you handle DACs and CLGs?
Yes. Designated activity companies, companies limited by guarantee and unlimited companies are all supported.
Does EntityFlo also handle beneficial ownership?
Yes. Beneficial ownership is tracked at the natural-person level and RBO-ready data is generated alongside your B1 filings.
