Ireland Company Incorporation

The Easiest and most Affordable way to Establish your company in Ireland.

The principal features of companies in the Republic of Ireland are:

• Directors must be individuals and not corporate entities.
• One of the directors must be resident in the European Union. Where there is no director of the company whom will be resident in the EU a Non Resident Director Bond can be put in place.
• A company secretary can be either an individual or company and may or may not be resident in Ireland.
• The company must have a registered office in Ireland.
• The company must at the time of incorporation be specific about its intended objects.
• Irish law demands that all limited companies have an official company seal.
• Shares should be denominated in Euros (€'s).

The first step to incorporate is check the availability of your proposed company name.

Company Name

This is the name of your business. There are some restrictions, the main one being that it must be unique.

Company Registered Office

This is the official address of your business where all official documents are served. This does not have to be your trading address but it must be located in Ireland, residential addresses are permitted. It must be a physical location, P.O. boxes are not permitted.

Company Directors

Irish companies require the residential address, date of birth of each director and any other directorships, of at least two individuals over the age of 18. It is required that one director be a permanent resident in the EU. 

Company Secretary

Irish companies are required to have a company secretary who has the legal duty of filing all required documents and accounts. This may be an individual in which case their personal details are required, or a Corporate Body in which case it's name and registered office.

Principle Activities

The companies purpose must be outlined in its memorandum of association and given a corresponding NACE code. We do this for you, we just need to know the principal activity of your company.

Benefits of being Limited

• Setting up a limited liability company offers just that: limited liability.
• Greater degree of business credibility of trading through a limited company.
• Ownership of a limited company can be spread over a greater number of people.
• Shareholders in a limited liability company are only liable to lose the share capital to which they subscribe.
• The rights of shareholders are clearly defined and protected.
• Employees can acquire shares.
• A company is a legal form of a business organisation, which is classed as a separate legal entity and, therefore, is separate and distinct from those who run it; the company, and not the individual shareholders.
• For sole traders and in partnerships, the individuals’ personal assets are at risk if there is a claim against the organisation.
• A company pension scheme can be secured through a limited company.
• A limited company has a greater ability to raise finance by the issue of shares and also under the Business Expansion Scheme.
• The company's name is protected: incorporation protects the name from use by another Limited company.
• Limited companies have flexible borrowing powers.
• The company continues despite the death, resignation or bankruptcy of members.
• The interests and obligations of the directors are defined.
• Appointment, retirement or removal of directors is straightforward.
• Personal tax advantages can accrue for directors of a limited company.
• Corporate Tax Rate is one of the lowest in the world.
• Directors pay income tax, and the company pays corporation tax on company profits; under current tax rates, company profits earned and retained in the business are assessed to corporation tax at lower rates than if income tax were payable on equivalent profits earned by an unincorporated business.

Ireland could not be better placed for business, it's a natural gateway to Europe.

The change in company legislation regarding the residency of directors and the low corporation tax rate at 12.5% makes Ireland the ideal place to incorporate your company. It is now required that just 1 director of an Ireland company be resident in the European Economic Area.
