   Company
   A company is a separate legal entity governed by the Companies Acts, which conducts activities on its own behalf and is distinct from the persons who own and control it. The proprietors control the company but their liability in relation to the company is limited. Incorporation is the process by which the company is entered on the register at Companies Registry and thereby comes into existence as a separate legal person. A Certificate of Incorporation will be sent to the company by Companies Registry on first incorporation and on any change of name.
