FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does it take to register a company in Ireland?
Typically, registering a new company with the Companies Registration Office (CRO) takes between 3 to 5 working days once the digital application and signed constitution are submitted.
However, this timeline depends on the chosen registration method; using a “Fé Phráinn” (expedited) scheme through a professional accountant is the fastest route.
You should also allow an additional 1–2 weeks for post-incorporation tasks, such as registering for taxes (VAT, Corporation Tax) and opening a corporate bank account.
What are the legal requirements for setting up a Limited Company (LTD) in Ireland?
To incorporate an LTD company in Ireland, you must have at least one director, a separate company secretary (if there is only one director), and a registered office address located within the State.
Additionally, the company must demonstrate that it will carry out an economic activity in Ireland.
Under the Companies Act 2014, all directors must provide a PPS number (or a VIF/IPN for non-residents) to the CRO to verify their identity during the formation process.
Can a non-resident start a company in Ireland?
Yes, non-residents can form an Irish company, but they must comply with Section 137 of the Companies Act 2014, which requires at least one director to be resident in the European Economic Area (EEA).
If you do not have an EEA-resident director, you must take out a Section 137 Non-Resident Director Bond (valid for two years) or prove the company has a “real and continuous link” with an economic activity in Ireland.
Non-resident directors without an Irish PPS number will also need to apply for a Verified Identity Number (VIF) as part of the anti-money laundering requirements.
What is the difference between a Sole Trader and a Limited Company in Ireland?
The primary difference is legal liability: a Sole Trader and their business are the same legal entity, meaning the individual is personally responsible for all business debts, whereas a Limited Company is a separate legal entity that limits the owner’s liability to the amount invested in shares.
From a tax perspective, Sole Traders pay Income Tax on all profits, while Limited Companies pay Corporation Tax (12.5% on trading profits).
Generally, if your business generates annual profits exceeding €50,000, transitioning to a Limited Company structure may offer significant tax efficiencies and pension planning opportunities.
