Using the Memo & Articles of a company formed in 1986 and with share capital denominated in Irish Pounds is a recipe for a mess, if you ask me, especially considering that several Companies Acts have come into law in the meantime.
The CRO database is full of companies with memo & articles documents which could be used as a template to produce your own memo & articles. That said, unless you know what you are doing, and have a reasonable understanding of company law and procedures, it would be a lot less hassle, and probably cheaper as well in the long run, to get a professional to form the company for you.
» Incorporation documents
» Memorandum of Association
» Articles of Association
» Register of Members
» Director & Secretary Consents
» First Board Minutes
all you need to do then is print the docs, sign them, file them with CRO and pay the filing fee of €100... simple enough really
** I have nothing to do with the above company. I found them doing a Google search.
A friend of mine used the above named company and did all the filing himself. When he went to open a bank account, the memorandum & articles didn't have a clause to facilitate him opening a bank account or avail of a credit card facility/overdraft etc. IMO this would be a standard basic clause that should be included and he has now had to go get a professional to prepare and file an amended set of m&a's with CRO.
