What you are building

Choose a formation route for your business

Location is only one part of the decision. A solo director needs a separate secretary; an overseas corporate owner needs an ownership review; an online retailer needs a plan beyond incorporation.

Single-director companiesOne director does not mean one person can fill every role. A sole director cannot also be the company's secretary; a separate appointment is required.Contractors & consultantsThis is formation of your own LTD, not an umbrella payroll service. Incorporation does not determine whether a particular engagement is employment or self-employment.Ecommerce businessesAn Irish company is not automatic marketplace acceptance, payment processing or VAT registration. Choose the formation package around where your directors, stock and business activity actually are.Overseas subsidiariesA subsidiary is a separate Irish company. It is not a branch registration, re-domiciliation or transfer of the parent's existing contracts and assets.

Buy the formation you need, with a clear scope

A new Irish company

The packages create a new private company limited by shares. They do not buy an existing company, transfer a foreign business, guarantee a bank account or establish a particular tax treatment. Names and applications remain subject to CRO approval.

Package first, extras second

Compare Basic, Standard, Premium and Non-Resident using the published inclusions. Irish office, IPN, RBO and first annual-return services vary by package. Accounting, paid secretary appointments and later renewals must be scoped separately.
