I am delighted to have been asked to speak during Enterprise Week of Local Enterprise Office Leitrim on

New Companies Act – Does it impact my Business?

This is a free event for companies and local businesses on 9 March 2016.  It is a 2 hour breakfast workshop starting at 8am.  Venue is the Landmark Hotel in Carrick on Shannon in County Leitrim.

I will discuss the provisions of Companies Act  2014 for companies and cover:

Conversion of Companies

  • What action you need to take in 2016 if you are an existing private company – should you convert into the new type private company or become a designated activity company?

 

  • What if you take no action?

 

Court applications

  • Anything new in the legislation – Ability to apply to court if you miss the filing deadline for the annual return, list of directors’ duties, specified offences.

 

  • The new type of private company – what are the benefits?

 

Director Transactions Rules

  • Why loans between a company and directors (or connected persons) should be documented in writing.

 

  • Director and Connected Person Transactions with a company – What transactions are caught? What does a company need to do? What shareholder approval is required?
