Join BetaWhy the CRO is unforgiving
Ireland's annual return regime is one of the strictest in Europe. Miss the 56-day filing window after your Annual Return Date and the consequences are immediate: • Late filing penalty starting at €100 plus €3 per day (capped at €1,200) • Loss of audit exemption for the next two financial years — a substantial cost for small companies • Risk of strike-off from the register The CRO does not send reminders. Tracking the ARD is the company's responsibility.
ARD tracking for every entity
EntityFlo tracks the Annual Return Date for every Irish entity in your group, applies the 56-day filing window, and surfaces upcoming B1s 60, 30 and 7 days before the deadline. For corporate secretariats managing 10+ Irish entities, this is the difference between a calm month and a fire drill.
Form B1 — pre-filled from your register
Form B1 requires details of directors, secretary, registered office, authorised and issued share capital, members, and a confirmation of financial statement particulars. EntityFlo generates the form with your current data, avoiding the spreadsheet-and-WebFiling shuffle.
Beneficial ownership — RBO compliance
Irish companies must also maintain a beneficial ownership register and file with the Central Register of Beneficial Ownership (RBO). EntityFlo tracks beneficial ownership at the natural-person level and generates RBO-ready data alongside B1 filings.
Built for Irish corporate secretaries
EntityFlo is built for Irish company secretaries and general counsel running portfolios of 5–200+ entities — including holding companies, trading companies, designated activity companies (DACs) and partnerships.
