Before you place your order
A subsidiary is a separate Irish company. It is not a branch registration, re-domiciliation or transfer of the parent's existing contracts and assets.
Discuss my setup- Prepare the proposed parent company's registration details and a full ownership chart to the ultimate individuals.
- Identify the natural-person directors and their residences, plus the secretary and Irish registered-office arrangements.
- Agree the purpose, funding, intercompany contracts and document requirements with your advisers before checkout.
A setup that matches your operation
Start with the corporate-shareholder review
Tell us which overseas entity will subscribe for the shares, where it is registered and who ultimately owns or controls it. Document certification or additional verification may depend on the ownership chain and the issuing country; get the exact list before commissioning translations or apostilles. Corporate ownership does not remove beneficial-ownership obligations. We can confirm the Irish formation scope after reviewing the proposed structure, rather than treating an ordinary individual-shareholder order as a complete group-expansion project.
Official reference: CRO: beneficial-ownership registrationDirectors are separate from the parent company
The corporate shareholder is not automatically the Irish director. Identify the natural people who will act, and assess whether at least one genuinely resides in the EEA. That determines whether a standard package or the bond route is relevant. A sole-director LTD also needs a separate secretary. Decide who will actually manage the subsidiary and maintain its records; an Irish registered-office service does not provide directors or an operating management team.
Official reference: CRO: directors, secretary and EEA residenceChoose subsidiary versus branch before buying
If the parent itself will operate through an Irish branch, that is a different registration project. A new LTD creates a separate legal entity and does not transfer staff, assets or customer agreements by itself. Before incorporation, agree funding, ownership of intellectual property and intercompany arrangements with appropriate legal and tax advisers. Formation fees do not include a transfer-pricing opinion, restructuring, overseas filing work or a finding that the group has a particular tax residence.
Official reference: CRO: external-company and branch registrationOnly 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
Should I order the package before discussing the corporate shareholder?
Contact us first. We need to confirm ownership, beneficial owners, director arrangements and required corporate documents so the formation package and any extra work are properly scoped.
Does the subsidiary package register an Irish branch of the parent?
No. The formation packages are for a new Irish LTD. A branch or external-company registration is a different project and should be discussed before placing an order.
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.
