Frequently asked questions

Company Formation FAQs

What is an Irish LTD company?

A private company limited by shares (LTD) is a common Irish business structure. It is a separate legal entity with obligations under Irish company law.

Do I need an Irish resident director?

Irish companies generally require at least one EEA-resident director, or an applicable exemption or bond. Specific requirements should be checked for your circumstances.

Can one person form an Irish company?

An LTD may have one director, but if it does, the company secretary must be a different person.

Is VAT registration automatic?

No. VAT registration is separate from CRO incorporation and depends on the nature and circumstances of the business.

When is the first annual return due?

An Irish company’s first annual return date is generally six months after incorporation. The first annual return normally does not require financial statements. Confirm the applicable filing requirements and deadlines.

Do you provide a registered office address?

Please contact us to discuss your requirements. Registered office services are not automatically included.

How much does incorporation cost?

The total depends on the agreed scope, professional work and applicable CRO fees. We will clarify inclusions and third-party charges before proceeding.
