The establishment of a private company in the Republic of Ireland is easy and straightforward. No permission is required to establish a business presence, although there is some regulation of the use of business and trading names. All companies registering in Ireland are required to do so with Companies House and have to submit accounts as well as annual returns. Overseas companies establishing a branch or place of business in Dublin must register and file annual accounts. Companies operating in the financial, defence, oil exploration and other regulated areas may require licences or authorisation to conduct business.
Important Notes
The statutory requirements for a company in the Republic of Ireland dictate that there must be, at minimum: two directors, one secretary, and one shareholder. It is possible for a person to act as both a director and a secretary. The directors and secretary of a company in the Republic of Ireland must be private individuals: they may not be corporate.
If neither of the directors of a company in the Republic of Ireland are residents of the Republic of Ireland, the company is required to pay a bond which must be lodged with a bond company, and which must be renewed every two years.
Coddan offers a resident nominee director service which you can use in order to avoid the obligation of paying a bond.
