there are company formations agencies who can set up all the paperwork for a fairly modest fee, but remember incorporating means you need two directors, and also share capital (usually 100 will do), and you will then be legally liable for the debts of your company later on.
http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employment/types_of_employment/self_employment/setting_up_a_business_in_ireland.html has a lot of information too
re:
So at some point during the year we’re going to need to incorporate, especially since I don’t fancy putting my personal ass on the line when we get to the stage where people might get suey.[/quote:32fbb50e13]
This is where being a limited liability company is important, as it’s seen as a seperate legal entity than you, but you still have directors responsibilities, and outsourcing this is a good option so you can focus. but you just do it through revenue online, and as long as you do it in time you shouldn’t have a problem. I’d also suggest getting some accounting software like sage or quickbooks which will help you keep on top of accounts, payroll, what you’ll need to put aside for taxes etc.
up to 26 now, and saw this on google alerts http://www.irishcentral.com/news/Calling-Irish-immigrants-working-in-gaming-industry-abroad–Gamedevelopersie-wants-your-input-194654961.html so hopefully will get the word around a bit more
Hi Aphra,
Re: 1, that’s great. I had brought that up in the December cluster meeting, and I’m glad they actually acted on it :)
Hi all,
Up to 22 responses including the first from Germany. There’s a nice trickle now, so any help spreading tinyurl.com/ismaithliomcacamilis around would be great.
Cheers
Jamie

i’ll do the same now on the expat survey, got three in so far, so have 19 in total (16 from before). I think I’ll do up a report once I can get 50, so any help would be appreciated!
cheers for the text aphra and the message damien!
well if you don’t have the experience, then maybe consider some of the non-development jobs that are out there. there are customer service, games master, and game operations roles available in a number of companies (ie Zynga, Gala, EA, Blizzard) in Ireland
try sticking "games" into indeed.ie and it’ll list pretty much all the games jobs that are on the various job sites at the moment. obviously there will be duplication between the same job posted on multiple sites, or different recruitment agencies posting the same job spec, but it’ll give you a decent idea of what’s out there.
