Register an Irish bookstore
A
bookstore refers to a physical place of
selling books and magazines, as a general rule. However, in the last decade,
companies selling books and related products can also set up their operations in the online environment, by
opening a website that can act as a shop.
In the case of a traditional bookstore, one of the most important aspects refers to the place in which the company carries its activities, which should be set up in a location favourable for this activity (generally, the center of a city or crowded areas).
Regardless of the manner in which the business carries its activities, the investors will need to start the procedure of
company registration in Ireland following the standard procedure applicable to
commercial companies. The first step in this sense is to register with the
Companies Registration Office.
Our team of local agents can offer assistance on other compulsory procedures, such as the registration for
tax purposes.
