Reregistration from a Private Limited by Shares to Company Limited by Guarantee
Service Details
For companies in Ireland, the process of changing a company’s status from a Private Limited by Shares (either a DAC or an LTD) to a Company Limited by Guarantee is a strategic move, governed by the Companies Act 2014. This transition involves several essential steps, all while considering the Companies Act 2014, the Companies Registration Office (CRO), and the Revenue Commissioners. Here’s a simplified view of why this transition might be necessary and the steps involved:
Why Transition from Private Limited by Shares to Company Limited by Guarantee?
Companies may decide to switch to a Company Limited by Guarantee structure for various reasons, including a change in their mission, a desire to operate as a not-for-profit, or a need to align with certain legal requirements. This structure doesn’t have a share capital and is often associated with organizations focused on their mission rather than profit.
The Legal Framework – Companies Act 2014
The process of changing a company’s status from Private Limited by Shares to Company Limited by Guarantee is regulated by Part 20 of the Companies Act 2014. This legal framework outlines the steps and requirements for this transition.
Steps for Transition
1. Board of Directors Meeting: Start with a meeting of the Board of Directors. During this meeting, the board discusses the conversion and prepares to call an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of the Members to pass the necessary resolutions. Alternatively, these resolutions can be passed in writing.
2. EGM or Written Resolution: Convene an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company, or execute a Written Resolution. During this meeting or resolution, the company makes essential changes to its Constitution. This includes adopting a new Constitution that aligns with the requirements of a Company Limited by Guarantee, Not having a Share Capital (CLG). The EGM also authorizes a Director and the Company Secretary to make an application to the Registrar of Companies for re-registration.
3. Addressing Share Capital: It’s crucial to address the issue of allotted share capital. The approach varies depending on whether the allotted share capital is paid up or not. If it has been paid up, a Court Order will be required.
4. Submission to CRO: After completing the above steps, submit the relevant documents to the Companies Registration Office (CRO). This submission should occur within 15 days of passing the Special Resolutions.
5. CRO Processing: The CRO reviews the submission and, upon approval, issues a Certificate of Incorporation for the re-registration in digital format.
