Companies Registration Office Share Capital Increase Notification Form

Notifying the Companies Registration Office (CRO) of a share capital increase is a statutory requirement under the Companies Act 2014 for Irish limited companies. This Share Capital Increase Notification and Allotment Return Form streamlines the process of reporting new share allotments, capital increases, and changes to your company's share structure to ensure full compliance with Irish company law.

Who needs this form?

This template is essential for Irish company directors, company secretaries, legal advisors, accountants, and corporate service providers managing share capital changes for private limited companies (LTD), designated activity companies (DAC), and public limited companies (PLC) registered in Ireland.

Key information captured

The form collects all necessary details required by the CRO including company registration number, share class details, allotment particulars, consideration received, allottee information, and director confirmations. It's designed to match the B2 (Allotment Return) and related CRO filing requirements while maintaining clarity and ease of use.

Streamline compliance with Paperform

Instead of wrestling with PDF forms or manual submissions, this Paperform template lets you gather accurate share allotment information from directors, company secretaries, or legal advisors in a clean, professional format. Conditional logic ensures you only collect relevant information based on share type and allotment method, reducing errors and back-and-forth.

Once submitted, use Stepper to automatically route the completed form data to your accounting system, generate confirmation emails to directors and shareholders, create audit trail records, or trigger document generation workflows for board minutes and statutory registers.

For companies requiring director sign-off before CRO submission, integrate Papersign to convert the submission into a formal allotment resolution document requiring secure eSignatures from all directors, creating a complete audit trail that meets Irish corporate governance standards.

Whether you're a startup raising capital, an established SME issuing employee shares, or a corporate service provider managing multiple client companies, this template ensures your CRO filings are accurate, complete, and compliant with Irish regulations. Paperform is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, providing the security and data protection standards required for sensitive corporate filings.
