Company Formation FAQs
How long does it take to set up an Irish limited company?
CRO standard incorporation takes 3-5 business days. Expedited registration is available (typically 24 hours with a higher CRO fee). Revenue registrations follow within 5-10 working days of incorporation.
What is the minimum share capital for an Irish company?
There is no minimum paid-up share capital requirement for a private limited company (LTD) in Ireland. Most companies are set up with 1 share of EUR 1. We advise on the appropriate share structure for your situation.
Do I need to be an Irish resident to set up a company in Ireland?
No, but the company must have at least one EEA-resident director, or purchase a bond (Section 137 bond of EUR 25,000). EU businesses frequently use Irish entities as their EU base — we assist with this regularly.
What type of company should I set up?
Most businesses in Ireland use a private limited company (LTD). Holding companies, DACs, and other structures are available for specific purposes. We advise on the right structure for your business model and goals.
Can I use my home address as the registered office?
Yes — but the registered office address is public on the CRO register. If you prefer to keep your home address private, contact us to discuss your options.
