Start with your director arrangement

Residence, not nationality, decides the EEA-director route. Choose the arrangement you intend to use.

Review the Non-Resident package with its two-year Section 137 bond. Registered office, IPN support and any paid secretary appointment must be confirmed separately; do not assume they are included.

Before you place your order

India is outside the EEA. If all directors reside there, review the bond route and confirm any Indian overseas-investment requirements before funding the company.

For founders in Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune and other Indian locations. This is Irish incorporation support, not Indian regulatory clearance.

Discuss my setup
  • Decide whether an individual or an Indian company will subscribe for the Irish shares.
  • Discuss overseas-investment and remittance requirements with your Indian adviser and authorised dealer bank before sending share capital.
  • List director residences and identity-number status, plus the Irish registered office and company secretary arrangements.

A setup that matches your operation

Choose the director arrangement first

An India-resident founder can be considered for the director and shareholder roles, but India residence does not satisfy the EEA-director rule. If no proposed director is EEA-resident, the Non-Resident package includes a two-year Section 137 bond. If another eligible director genuinely resides in the EEA, compare the ordinary packages instead. Do not confuse holding shares with being a director: each role has its own information and responsibilities in the Irish application.

Clear the funding plan on the Indian side

Irish incorporation and Indian overseas-investment compliance are separate questions. The Reserve Bank of India's Overseas Investment directions cover investments by persons resident in India. Before subscribing or remitting funds, ask your adviser and authorised dealer bank what applies to your proposed personal or corporate investment, activity and ownership chain. The formation fee does not include Indian approvals, filings or a foreign-exchange opinion. We need an accurate ownership plan, not an assumption that Irish incorporation authorises the investment.

Plan delivery, evidence and the first customer

For an Indian development team or service business serving Irish customers, explain where people work, who owns existing software and which entity signs customer contracts. Tax-registration and banking providers may need evidence of the actual operation; an Irish address alone is not evidence of all business activity. If an Indian company will be the parent, contact us for a subsidiary document review. Allow time for identity-number and supporting-document requirements before promising a launch date to customers.

From package to incorporated company

  1. Choose the right scope

    Check director residence, ownership, identity numbers and address needs. Ask us first about corporate shareholders or an unusual structure.

  2. Supply the company details

    Use the existing checkout to provide proposed names, officers, shareholders and activity. We review requirements and prepare the incorporation documents.

  3. Review, sign and file

    Complete the required signatures, verification and any bond steps. The application goes to the CRO, which decides acceptance and incorporation.

  4. 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

Does paying the formation fee authorise an overseas investment from India?

No. Irish formation does not provide Indian regulatory or remittance clearance. Confirm the investment and funding requirements with a qualified Indian adviser and your authorised dealer bank before proceeding.

Can I order without an Irish PPSN?

Tell us before filing if a director has no PPSN or existing IPN. Standard and Premium list IPN support; do not assume that every package includes the same identity-number work. Ask us to confirm the combined scope if you also need a bond.

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.
