Before you place your order
A director resident in Germany can meet the EEA-resident director requirement. Do not buy a bond package merely because you live outside Ireland.
For founders in Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt and elsewhere in Germany. This is a remote Irish formation service, not a German office or a German company registration.
Discuss my setup- Confirm who will own the Irish LTD: you personally, co-founders or an existing German business.
- Have director identity details ready and tell us whether each director has an Irish PPSN or existing IPN.
- Decide whether you need an Irish registered office and a separate secretary before choosing extras.
A setup that matches your operation
One German-resident director, an Irish registered office
An Irish LTD can be formed with a Germany-resident director; German nationality is not the deciding test. If that person is the only director, someone else must be appointed as company secretary. A Berlin home or German virtual office cannot be the Irish company's registered office. Premium includes an Irish registered-office service in its published formation scope; a paid secretary appointment is a separate service. Tell us who will do each role so the order matches what you actually need.
Official reference: CRO: directors, secretary and EEA residenceAn Irish LTD is not a relocated GmbH
This service creates a new Irish company. It does not convert a GmbH, transfer German customer contracts or move an existing business's assets. If a German company will be the shareholder, start with the subsidiary route and explain the ownership chain. Before committing to a structure, have German and Irish advisers assess where management decisions and work will happen. Ireland's incorporation-based tax-residence rule is subject to treaty provisions; an Irish certificate does not settle the entire cross-border tax position.
Official reference: Revenue: company tax-residence rulesPlan the German side before the first invoice
Give your advisers a short operating plan: where directors work, where staff and stock are located, who signs contracts and which company owns any existing intellectual property. Ask them to review German reporting and the applicable Germany-Ireland treaty before you move income or assets. Our formation package prepares the Irish incorporation; it is not a German tax opinion or treaty-clearance service. The German-language page explains the buying options, while checkout and direct service correspondence currently remain in English.

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
Do I need the Non-Resident Bond package if I live in Germany?
Not solely because you live in Germany. A qualifying Germany-resident director can meet the EEA-resident director requirement. The bond route is relevant when the proposed company has no qualifying EEA-resident director and no applicable exemption.
Can you form an Irish company owned by my GmbH?
We can discuss a new Irish LTD with a corporate shareholder. Contact us before ordering so ownership, corporate documents, beneficial owners and the director arrangement can be checked. This does not relocate or convert the GmbH.
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.
