The Companies Registration Office (CRO) does not retain a register, or copies, of lease agreements entered into by businesses under a business name or company name.

However, the CRO does retain a register of business names in accordance with the Registration of Business Names Act 1963. The purpose of the registration of the business name is to make public the legal identity or identities of those individual(s), partnerships or corporate bodies who is/are carrying on business at the location in question under a particular business name.

The business names register contains the particulars stipulated in section 4 of the Registration of Business Names Act 1963, being the business name, the general nature of the business, the principal place of the business, details in relation to partners where the name is being registered by a firm, details in relation to the individual owner, such as name, nationality, residential address, and other business occupation (if any), where the name is being registered by an individual, details in relation to a body corporate where the registration is being effected by a body corporate, and date of adoption of the business name.

There are a number of business names registered with similar details to those provided by the Deputy. If the Deputy requires any of the above registered information on these business names, it can be obtained free of charge on the CRO search facility at www.cro.ie/search or by payment of a small fee at the CRO public office.
