A few questions if there is anybody feeling helpful!
I wish to set up an Irish company with myself (an Irish citizen) and a US Citizen as directors.
I am wondering what the implications are for this on my current position.
I am presently in full-time employment and will not be ending this in the short-term as it is my main source of income to fund the new venture.
1) I do not want to have us being paid salaries as directors initially from the new company - can this be done?
2) How does this impact on paye/prsi obligations considering I am already employed and my PRSI contributions are being made?
3) Would it be possible to set up my company and not notify my current employer - i.e. - if I am not earning a salary from my new company, is there any reason that my current employer would need to know about this to start?
4) How does this affect the other director when she will not be paid a salary initially? Is PRSI still an issue, are there any other potential obligations for her to fulfill?
5) To come to Ireland the non-reident director needs to acquire Business Permission. A non-resident director needs to being €300,000 capital into the venture to acquire this permission. I think that this is waived if another director in the company is an Irish Citizen - can anybody confirm this?
6) How does Audit Exemption work - The biggest cost to establishing the business is Accountants Fee's and to give the business a chance to get on it's feet I need to minimise this. I do not expect the business to be hugely profitable within the first year and as such would like to avoid an Audit within that period - any advice?
Many thanks for your help!
