One of the most frequent questions we receive is what should a company put on their letterhead.  One of the most frequent failures we find is that companies forget to update their letterhead as changes occur. 

Basic requirements for letterheads are outlined below, full details can be found in S.151 Companies Act 2014.

 

1.       Director name and nationality (if not Irish)

2.       Company name

3.       Company registration number

4.       Company registered address

5.       Place company was registered (e.g. Registered in Dublin, Ireland)

6.       Business name (if applicable)

 

Although not specified within the Companies Act if invoices are going to be printed on company letterhead then the company VAT number should be included on the letterhead.
