“Kinore has allowed a space in our finance manager’s role to provide the higher value add, the strategic commercial advice that we need.”
Kinore assists directors and beneficial owners who do not have a PPS number by filing Form VIF with the CRO. We manage the process so you can obtain a Verified Identity Number (VIN) and stay compliant with Irish filing rules.
The CRO requires directors and beneficial owners without an Irish PPS number to provide a Verified Identity Number. Kinore prepares and files Form VIF on your behalf, ensuring the process is handled quickly and without errors.
