Before you place your order
US residence is outside the EEA. A company with only US-resident directors normally needs the bond route unless an applicable exemption is in place.
For founders in New York, Boston, San Francisco, Austin, Chicago and other US locations. The service forms an Irish company; it is not a US state filing service.
Discuss my setup- Decide whether the Irish company's shareholder is an individual, LLC or corporation before entering ownership details.
- Confirm directors' actual residences; US citizenship does not rule out qualifying EEA residence.
- Arrange US tax advice on foreign-company ownership and budget separately for the Irish address and any secretary appointment.
A setup that matches your operation
US directors: choose the route before checkout
If all directors live in the USA, review the Non-Resident package with its two-year Section 137 bond. If one proposed director is genuinely EEA-resident, a standard formation package may be appropriate instead. Irish directors must be natural persons; a US LLC cannot act as the director simply because it owns the shares. Tell us if an existing US entity will own the LTD so corporate records and the ultimate beneficial owners can be checked before filing.
Official reference: CRO: directors, secretary and EEA residenceAn Irish LTD is not a US LLC election
Buying Irish incorporation does not select a US tax classification, change a state registration or determine a shareholder's federal tax obligations. Certain US citizens and residents connected to foreign corporations must file Form 5471 and relevant schedules; the filing categories and exceptions depend on the facts. Ask a US international-tax adviser to review ownership, control, intended payments and reporting before funding the Irish company. We do not include US tax returns or classification elections in the formation package.
Official reference: IRS: Form 5471 and foreign-corporation reportingSet up the operating company, not just a certificate
For a US parent opening an Irish operation, prepare the proposed contracts, Irish activity, decision-making arrangement and ownership chain. For an individual founder, decide who will handle the registered office, secretary and accounting records after incorporation. Bank and payment providers perform their own eligibility and verification checks; a CRO certificate is evidence of incorporation, not a promise of an account. Discuss any required launch date before ordering and leave time for identity checks and provider approvals.

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 a US company own the Irish LTD?
A corporate-shareholder structure can be discussed. Contact us with the proposed ownership chain before ordering so we can confirm the document requirements. US reporting and Irish tax treatment need separate professional advice.
Is an Irish bank account or US tax filing included?
Neither a guaranteed bank account nor US tax filings are included. Banking approval is a separate provider decision. Ask us about the available Irish banking guidance and obtain US advice on foreign-company reporting.
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.
