What you receive
Every package covers the core documents and filing steps needed to register an Irish limited company. The right route depends on director residency, identification and registered office requirements.
Before you register
A company-name check is only the start. The CRO application also needs the right officers, ownership details, registered office and constitution.
An LTD can have one director, but a sole director must appoint a different secretary. At least one director must ordinarily be EEA-resident, unless a bond or exemption applies.
Check LTD requirementsProvide an Irish registered office and decide who will hold the first shares. The address must be suitable for receiving official correspondence.
Registered office optionsThe CRO requires Form A1 and a constitution. An LTD uses a single-document constitution; other company types may require a memorandum and articles.
Read the Form A1 guideIncorporation does not automatically include tax or VAT registration, a business bank account, or every later filing. Compare the package inclusions and plan your first annual return separately.
