Before you place your order
UK residence no longer meets the EEA-director requirement. If every proposed director lives in the UK, review the Section 137 bond route before buying a standard package.
Remote support for founders in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Belfast and across the UK. No UK-city office is implied.
Discuss my setup- List the actual residence of every proposed director, including any director already living in the EEA.
- Choose whether the shareholders will be individuals or an existing UK limited company.
- Separate your Irish address, company secretary and banking requirements from the incorporation order.
A setup that matches your operation
The UK-only director route
A UK passport is not the issue: the relevant test is where the director resides. A UK national genuinely resident in an EEA state may meet the requirement, while a director resident only in the UK does not meet it through UK residence. Where no director qualifies, our Non-Resident package contains a two-year Section 137 bond. The bond must be effective at incorporation. Do not appoint someone in name only to bypass the requirement; officers take real responsibilities.
Official reference: CRO: directors, secretary and EEA residenceA separate company, not a Companies House transfer
An Irish LTD is a new legal entity, not a new registration number for your existing UK company. A UK parent can be considered for the shareholder role, but contracts, staff, intellectual property and intercompany funding need a separate handover plan. Ask for a subsidiary review if that is the purpose. Using an Irish registered address does not by itself move management, create banking eligibility or decide where profits are taxed.
Official reference: Revenue: company tax-residence rulesSelling goods between Great Britain and Ireland
If the Irish company will buy or sell physical goods, describe the supply route before you choose tax-registration support. Revenue explains that movements into or out of the EU, including Great Britain, involve customs formalities. Incorporation does not supply an EORI number, make the company the importer automatically or remove customs costs. Northern Ireland goods arrangements require their own assessment; do not treat every UK transaction as identical. Start with your intended stock location and customer delivery path.

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
Does the UK Non-Resident package include an Irish registered office?
The published Non-Resident package includes the director bond, not the registered-office service. If you do not have an appropriate Irish address, arrange the registered office separately. A paid company secretary appointment is also separate.
Can I move my UK business into Ireland through this checkout?
Checkout orders a new Irish LTD incorporation. It does not transfer a UK business, re-domicile a company or register a branch. Contact us first if the project involves an existing company or a business transfer.
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.
