Basic information compiled
This is the number of country and territory entries, not independent company registration jurisdictions. It does not mean all policies, service eligibility or information have been verified. “Basic information compiled” means only that some basic details have been gathered. Check each source, condition and review date.
Entity type
Private company limited by shares (LTD)
Basic conditions
- An LTD may have one or more members, an Irish registered office, at least one director and a secretary. A sole director must have a different secretary. At least one EEA-resident director is generally required; otherwise a prescribed section 137 bond or statutory exemption applies. The bond face value is not its purchase price.
Required documents
- Submit Form A1 and the single-document LTD constitution. Prepare name, registered office, director and secretary details and consents, subscribers and shares, principal activity and NACE code. Identity verification and overseas documents need applicant-specific review.
Process
- Confirm name, officers and registered office; sign the constitution and consents; submit A1 and the constitution on CORE and pay the official fee. CRO checks the filing; corrections rejoin the queue by resubmission date. A compliant application receives a certificate of incorporation.

- The ordinary incorporation duration, detailed beneficial-owner deadlines, tax registration and rate eligibility, identity documents, sector licences, bond cases and all official charges remain unverified.
Service scope
Registered office, registered agent and company secretary arrangements depend on the destination, entity type and actual business activities. Not every service applies in every country.
A few useful answers
Are the displayed fees a complete quotation?
No. Public amounts are verified official fee references only. Platform services and other costs are quoted manually after we understand your needs.
Does incorporation guarantee a bank account or approval?
No. Company formation, regulated activities and bank applications have separate eligibility and review requirements.
