Frequently asked questions
Open Forest is a technology platform operated by lawyers and accountants that simplifies company setup and ongoing compliance. All you need to bring is your new business idea, and we'll run the scary parts.
We take care of all of your legal, tax, accounting and compliance needs through one platform, so you can stay focused on actually growing your business.
Open Forest is perfect for any type of business that wants to keep on top of its legal, tax and accounting obligations - but without the huge distraction that comes with that.
We work with consultants, freelancers and small business owners right the way up to multinationals, venture capital firms and holding company structures.
Open Forest only works with (1) companies that are ready to incorporate or (2) companies that have recently incorporated in the past 3 months. Click 'Get Started' to see if your company is suitable to join.
We start with your company's setup, take you to exit, and everything in between. We cover the legal, tax, accounting and compliance obligations that every company faces, and we do it in a way that is simple, clear and easy to understand.
You get access to our easy-to-use technology so you can track and remember every little detail about your company, and take any company action you need.
People that have done it before never ask us this - they know that doing their own compliance results in a huge disservice to their business. Time spent trying to stay on top of all the rules, is time spent distracted from your actual business - and it always fails.
Absolutely, we have all the flexibility you need. You can come on with just a basic incorporation, and add on more as your business grows. If you are already incorporated, you can onboard with our peace of mind package.
The most successful businesses usually hand us the legal, tax and accounting right from the start while they focus on the fun stuff like product, sales and marketing.
We are regulated by the Department of Justice AML Unit in Ireland as a 'Trust or Company Service Provider' to provide Irish company set-ups, company secretary and registered office services.
Our lawyers are also regulated by the Legal Services Regulatory Authority and our chartered accountants are regulated by Chartered Accountants Ireland.
Questions are welcome.
We’ll point you in the right direction.

Founded on trust. Demonstrated in action.
Open Forest provided quick turnaround time to incorporate the firm and work with all compliance to bring an early customer on board. The experience was very convenient and founder-friendly. I found it extremely helpful to have everything needed to manage the company in one place, especially tools and guidance around tracking compliance deadlines and administrative requirements. It reduced a lot of early-stage operational stress and helped me stay organised while focusing on building the business.

The Open Forest team have your best interests at heart and are building lasting distinctive relationships as your company secretary. They really know their stuff. As someone new to the market it has been a pleasure working with them during our first year of business.
