Before you place your order
A Netherlands-resident director can meet the EEA-director requirement. Standard and Premium are worth comparing if the director needs an Irish IPN.
For founders in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, The Hague, Eindhoven and elsewhere in the Netherlands. No local Dutch premises are supplied by this formation service.
Discuss my setup- Specify whether the new shareholder is you personally or an existing Dutch BV.
- Identify where any stock, staff and contract-signing activity will be located.
- Choose an Irish registered-office arrangement and confirm PPSN or IPN status for each director.
A setup that matches your operation
The director requirement is about residence
A founder living in the Netherlands can be the Irish LTD's qualifying EEA-resident director, subject to the usual eligibility checks. There is no need to buy a Section 137 bond solely because the company owner is Dutch or lives outside Ireland. One-director LTDs need a separate secretary. If your co-founder lives elsewhere, list both residences accurately rather than assuming that a Dutch shareholder automatically satisfies a rule that applies to directors.
Official reference: CRO: directors, secretary and EEA residenceKeep the BV and Irish LTD distinct
If your existing BV is expanding, decide whether it will own the Irish shares or whether the founders will invest personally. Those are different ownership structures. New Irish incorporation does not transfer Dutch contracts or close a Dutch registration. Ask your advisers to review intercompany charges, management location and ownership of assets before launch. StartCompany.ie handles the agreed Irish formation scope; a Dutch restructuring or cross-border tax opinion is a separate professional project.
Official reference: Revenue: company tax-residence rulesDutch fulfilment does not disappear after Irish formation
An online retailer using a Dutch warehouse should keep that stock location in its operating plan even if customer invoices come from the Irish LTD. Review the relevant sales and tax registrations with an adviser rather than assuming the incorporation country answers every question. Revenue's ecommerce guidance sets out the different OSS and import schemes; eligibility depends on the transactions. Our ecommerce formation page can help you separate the company setup from the additional registrations you may need.

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 Dutch residents need a director bond for an Irish LTD?
Not just because they live in the Netherlands. A qualifying Netherlands-resident director can meet the EEA condition. Shareholder residence alone does not satisfy the director requirement.
Will incorporation move my Dutch BV or warehouse to Ireland?
No. This service forms a separate Irish LTD. Existing companies, contracts, stock and staff remain where they are unless separately and properly transferred or reorganised.
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.
