    I have set up a business and have no clue at all how to register my name and business.

    I checked out a form i had to fill out and i was asked for my DX number, I dont understand what that means.
    Is there anyone who can help me to do the right stuff,i just want to have business and name registered so that i can be legal and is there anything else i have to do??

    Thanks in advance

    DX number is document exchange number (where ever I have come across it) its a office use'd to be beside the Davenport hotel (probably loads of them) where there is a room full of post boxes with numbers corrresponding to different companies.

    Just leave it blank.

    Check out the CRO website - they have the details there. You have to register with them. They are the Company Registration Office and you can do it online.

    Basically, you have two options - sole trader or a limited company. Starting off, it may make sense to go as a sole trader (get professional advice - it depends on your circumstances).

    The DX number is like a post code that solicitors use - Don't worry about it. Judging by your e-mail you as well registering as a sole trader. you can do a business name on-line at the CRO website www.cro.ie or get an accountant or a company formation company to do it.

    You have probably heard it ad nauseum but you don't need to get a RBN from the CRO if you trade as John Smith or Smith

    That said it would add legitimacy to any invoice that you issue if you had a RBN # at the end.
