Full-Lifecycle Corporate & Fiduciary Services
From incorporation and Dublin registered office facilities to statutory CIMA accounting, Form CT1 Corporation Tax compliance, nominee directorships, and corporate banking introductions.
Irish Company Formations (LTD, DAC & Branches)
We structure and incorporate Irish corporate entities under the Companies Act 2014 within 3 to 5 business days. As authorized CRO corporate formation agents, we prepare bespoke Constitutions, allocate statutory share capital (€100 divided into 100 ordinary shares), and submit electronic Form A1 filings directly to the registrar.
Dublin Registered Office Address Facility
Under the Companies Act 2014, every Irish incorporated company is required by law to maintain a registered physical address within the state. PO Boxes are strictly prohibited by the CRO. Our official client facility at 2c Grangegorman Lower, Smithfield, Dublin 7 provides complete statutory mail handling while shielding directors' personal residential addresses from public scrutiny.
- Same-day digital scanning of CRO & Revenue correspondence
- Receipt of formal legal processes and court summons
- Complimentary for the first 6 months across all formation tiers
- Annual renewal at €350 + VAT per annum
Local Irish Resident Director Services
Irish corporate law stipulates that every company must maintain at least one director tax-resident in the European Economic Area. Physical tax residency—not citizenship—governs this mandate. Our network of vetted, experienced Irish resident professional directors actively oversees governance, ensuring the entity satisfies common law "mind and management" requirements for corporate tax residency and traditional retail banking approvals.
Section 137 Non-EEA Resident Director Revenue Bonds
When non-EEA founders do not wish to appoint a local resident director, Section 137 of the Companies Act 2014 provides a statutory exemption through a €25,000 Revenue Bond. This policy guarantees statutory penalty payments under the Companies Act and Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 for 2 full years.
Bundled with our Non-EU incorporation package at €1,600, or procured standalone for existing entities at €2,100.
