Set up an Irish company from anywhere in the world. EU base. 12.5% corporation tax.

Ireland offers one of Europe's most attractive business environments, with a corporation tax rate of just 12.5%, widespread use of English as the business language, and unrestricted access to the European Union single market. You can establish an Irish company from anywhere in the world without needing to be Irish or a resident of Ireland yourself. However, Irish law does require you to work with an Irish solicitor to set up your company correctly. The solicitor will handle all the legal and administrative requirements, and this entire process can be managed remotely without you needing to travel to Ireland. Under the Companies Act 2014, every Irish company must have at least one director who is a resident of an EEA country, which includes all EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. If you and your fellow directors are not based in an EEA country, your solicitor can arrange for a nominee director who is an EEA resident to take this role on your behalf. This nominee director will meet the legal requirement while you maintain full control and ownership of your company. Alternatively, if you cannot appoint an EEA-resident director, you can post a bond with the Irish Companies Registration Office as a guarantee, though using a nominee director is the more common and straightforward approach. Your solicitor will guide you through the entire setup process. This includes preparing the company's constitutional documents, registering the company with the Companies Registration Office, arranging for a registered Irish office address, setting up your director structure either through a nominee or bond, and ensuring all compliance requirements are met. The solicitor will also advise you on tax registration and other obligations. Once your company is registered, you will own and control it fully, and you can operate it from anywhere in the world while benefiting from Ireland's low tax rate and access to the EU market.
