Before you place your order
An 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.
Discuss my setup- Map where stock will be stored, where goods are shipped from and which countries you will sell into.
- Confirm who owns the brand, domain, products and existing marketplace accounts before moving them to the LTD.
- Check director residence, identity-number status, registered office and separate secretary requirements.
A setup that matches your operation
Give your shop a clear legal seller
Decide whether the new Irish LTD will own the shop or whether an existing company will remain the seller. Incorporation does not automatically transfer the domain, brand rights, customer contracts or marketplace accounts. Prepare a handover list and obtain any required provider consent. Display the correct legal entity on the store once the company is in place. Our package supplies the agreed formation documents, not an ecommerce website build, marketplace approval or automatic contract transfer.
Official reference: CRO: incorporation requirementsStart the tax review with stock and customers
Where goods are stored and how they reach customers matter alongside the incorporation country. Revenue describes separate ecommerce arrangements including Union OSS, non-Union OSS and IOSS; they are not interchangeable registrations automatically supplied with an LTD. Tell the adviser whether you sell physical goods or digital services and whether you use third-party warehouses. Request a tax-registration scope appropriate to that model instead of assuming a formation order includes every relevant registration.
Official reference: Revenue: ecommerce and OSS schemesA registered office is not a fulfilment centre
Premium includes the published registered-office service and RBO filing. An office address for company correspondence is not automatically a stock warehouse, returns centre, staffed trading office or an address accepted by every marketplace. Confirm the intended address use before putting it on packaging or seller accounts. Bank and payment providers assess applicants independently, so keep an alternative launch plan while checks take place. Accounting, ongoing filings and the physical fulfilment arrangements need their own budget.

Check the selected package first to avoid buying an included service twice. Additional services are separate orders, not preselected charges.

View serviceFrom package to incorporated company
Choose the right scope
Check director residence, ownership, identity numbers and address needs. Ask us first about corporate shareholders or an unusual structure.
Supply the company details
Use the existing checkout to provide proposed names, officers, shareholders and activity. We review requirements and prepare the incorporation documents.
Review, sign and file
Complete the required signatures, verification and any bond steps. The application goes to the CRO, which decides acceptance and incorporation.
Prepare for trading
Receive the incorporation documents after approval. Arrange tax registration, banking, records and the agreed post-formation services separately.
Questions before you buy
Will forming an Irish LTD guarantee an Amazon, Stripe or bank account?
No. Each provider has its own onboarding, eligibility and verification requirements. Incorporation supplies a company, not an approval guarantee or a substitute for evidence of business activity.
Can I use the registered office for stock and product returns?
Do not assume so. Confirm the exact service scope and permitted uses first. A registered-office service is not automatically warehousing, fulfilment or consumer-return handling.
What is included in the formation price?
Every published package includes the core incorporation documents and CRO filing fee. The full inclusions are shown with each package. Registered office, IPN support, RBO registration and the first annual return are not included in every package. A paid secretary appointment and ongoing accounting are separate services.
Can I begin without travelling to Ireland?
You can start the order and supply information remotely. Identity verification, witnessing, signatures or supporting evidence may involve additional steps. We confirm the filing requirements before submission. A bank may apply separate in-person or other verification requirements.
How long does company registration take?
Timing depends on complete documents, identity numbers, any required bond and current CRO processing. Paying for formation is not incorporation. Company names and applications remain subject to CRO approval; we do not guarantee a fixed incorporation date.
Are banking, tax registration or residence rights guaranteed?
No. Incorporation, bank approval, tax registration and personal immigration or work permission are separate. Formation does not guarantee tax savings, an account or permission to live or work in Ireland. Discuss tax-registration support separately if needed.
