Before you place your order
A Spain-resident director can meet the EEA-director condition. Living in Spain does not itself make the director-bond package necessary.
Remote Irish formation for founders in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Malaga, Seville and across Spain. We do not provide a Spanish trading address or immigration permission.
Discuss my setup- Describe whether the business will trade in Ireland, Spain or both and where you personally perform the work.
- Confirm director identity numbers and name a separate secretary if there is only one director.
- Obtain advice on the Spanish side before replacing an existing self-employed or company arrangement.
A setup that matches your operation
An Irish company with a Spain-resident director
Spain is within the EEA for the Irish director-residence requirement. A qualifying director based there can therefore use a standard formation route rather than paying for a bond simply because the address is overseas. The company still needs an Irish registered office and an appropriate secretary. Premium may suit founders who need the Irish address and IPN support; compare the actual included services rather than choosing a package by its name alone.
Official reference: CRO: directors, secretary and EEA residenceWorking from Spain needs its own review
If you will continue delivering consulting, software or other services from Spain, tell your tax advisers that before incorporation. An Irish registered-office address is not the place where you necessarily work or make management decisions. Irish incorporation-based tax residence has treaty qualifications, and cross-border management needs case-specific advice. Do not cancel an existing Spanish registration or redirect invoices only because a new Irish certificate has arrived. Agree the operating and reporting position first.
Official reference: Revenue: company tax-residence rulesReplace contracts deliberately, not automatically
A new LTD does not inherit an individual's customer agreements, marketplace accounts or intellectual property. Build a launch list identifying which company signs the next contract, how clients will be notified and which bank or payment-provider checks remain outstanding. If a Spanish SL will own the shares, request a subsidiary review before ordering. Our role is the Irish incorporation and the services you select, not a transfer of the Spanish business or personal work permission.
Official reference: CRO: incorporation requirementsOnly add the services you 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
Can I stay in Spain while starting the Irish formation process?
You can begin remotely and supply the required information and signed documents. Identity verification, witnessing or supporting documents may require additional steps. No personal work or immigration permission is created by incorporation.
Does this replace my Spanish self-employed registration?
No. A new Irish LTD does not automatically replace any Spanish personal or business registration. Obtain Spanish and Irish advice on the intended activity before changing your existing arrangements.
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.
