Companies like Google had a reason when they chose to establish their European headquarters in Dublin, Ireland. In Ireland, they not only benefit from a particularly business-friendly tax structure but also from overall conditions for their company that are not available in another location in Europe or the world.

You will receive a comprehensive offer from us, which you can customize with corresponding options as needed.

Despite the particularly business-friendly environment, establishing an Irish company is more complex than, for example, establishing an English company. In Ireland, a suitable name must first be reserved before incorporation, and only once this name has been approved can a company be established.

In an apparent effort to avoid the appointment of fake directors, since the end of June 2023, the CRO (Companies Registration Office) requires the completion of a so-called VIF (Verification of Identity) form. The future director must make a sworn statement that their information is truthful, and this declaration must be certified by a locally resident notary. This declaration must then be provided to the Irish CRO, after which you receive a corresponding identification number that allows you to be registered as a director.

If you wish to appoint your own director for the establishment of your new Irish company, you will find the corresponding VIF form in the email confirming your order.

The fee to be paid to the Companies Registration Office is already included in our offer. Upon placing the order, we initially reserve the desired name for you, and once the approved certificate is available, we proceed with the incorporation process on your behalf.

The actual registration recently took 2-3 weeks, but nowadays, it can be accomplished online in a few days.

Similar to the English LTD, the Irish LTD can also be administered online. Since the introduction of the previously mentioned "VIF" form, there is also now a requirement to register with another Irish authority, the so-called "RBO" (Register of Beneficial Ownership).

The function of this authority is roughly equivalent to that of the German Transparency Register. Only after you have identified yourself here with your VIF and received a new number can you actually proceed with the incorporation of an Irish company.

It may sound confusing, but it is the response of many European authorities to the modern requirements of combating money laundering and cannot be avoided.
