Before you place your order
A director resident in Italy can meet the EEA-director condition. An overseas address does not automatically mean you need the Non-Resident Bond package.
For founders in Milan, Rome, Turin, Bologna, Naples and across Italy. This service creates an Irish LTD, not an Italian company or Italian establishment.
Discuss my setup- Decide whether you or an existing Italian business will own the new Irish company.
- Document where management and the actual service or product activity will take place.
- Choose the Irish registered office and secretary, and tell us if a director needs IPN support.
A setup that matches your operation
Start with the EEA-resident director route
An eligible Italy-resident director can meet the Irish EEA residence requirement. If the LTD has only that director, a separate secretary is still necessary. Premium combines formation with the published Irish registered-office and RBO services, while Standard may suit a founder who already has an Irish address and needs identity-number support. Neither option appoints a paid secretary automatically. Confirm the roles and compare inclusions before selecting a package.
Official reference: CRO: directors, secretary and EEA residenceKeep Italian business identity and new Irish ownership clear
An Irish LTD is not a new trading name for an Italian sole trader or an automatic replacement for an SRL. Decide who will hold the shares and which entity will own the assets and contract with customers. If the Italian company is investing, request a subsidiary review before checkout. The ownership chain must be understood for beneficial-ownership records; a corporate shareholder does not eliminate the need to identify the people who ultimately own or control the company.
Official reference: CRO: beneficial-ownership registrationMatch the operating plan to the registrations
For a Milan-based designer selling to Irish customers, the country of incorporation is only one part of the plan. For a product business shipping from Italy, stock and delivery arrangements are also relevant. Tell your advisers where directors work, where goods are stored and how income will be paid. Irish incorporation does not settle the Italian reporting position or automatically provide a tax number, bank account or movement of contracts. Buy the Irish filing with a clear separate plan for those matters.

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
Is the director bond required just because I live in Italy?
No. A qualifying Italy-resident director can satisfy the EEA-residence condition. The test applies to directors, not simply to the nationality or location of shareholders.
Can I keep my Italian business while forming the Irish LTD?
The Irish formation creates a separate company and does not close the Italian business. Ask your advisers to agree ownership, management, contracts and the reporting position of both operations.
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.
