Low corporate tax rates
In Ireland, a limited liability company enjoys low corporate tax rates of 12.5%. This has attracted many multinational businesses to expand their venture into Ireland.

A hub for global business
Low corporate tax and beneficial cash flow have attracted multinational businesses to the country, making it a global business hub.
Access to the EU market
Ireland’s strategic location allows you to access the European Union market freely. Our business can trade with other EU member states, making it easier to expand your business.
All companies must have a business name that is distinct, unique, and not too similar to existing company names registered in Ireland. To check if your proposed company name stands out and is available, use the Companies Registration Office (CRO) online name search tool.

The general rules of the CRO’s criteria for company names under section 30 of the Companies Act 2014 include:
Uniqueness
The name should not be the same or similar to the existing company names registered by the Companies Registration Office. The name should not infringe on the registered company’s trademark.
Language
The proposed name can be 100% Irish or English. A name combination of both languages is not permitted.
Not offensive
The name should not contain words that are considered offensive or inappropriate.
Should not suggest state sponsorship
The proposed company name should not suggest or imply state endorsement or sponsorship.
Restricted words
Approval from relevant bodies will be required to include restricted words in your company name. Restricted words include: charity, holding, group, SE, Eire, Architect, University, Society, Institute of Technology, Co-op, Cooperative, .ie, Regional Technical College, Hollybank, Bank, Sweetbank, Bancorp, Canal Bank, Banker, Banking, Institiúid na Teicneolaíochta, and Coláiste Teicniúil Réigiúnach.

All Irish companies must maintain a physical address in Ireland. This is where legal documents and official correspondence will be sent and received by a representative on behalf of the company.
International entrepreneurs looking to start a company in Ireland who don’t require a dedicated physical workspace can consider using a virtual office service with a professional business address that can be used to register a limited company.
Limited companies must have at least one director. At least one director must be a resident of a member state of the European Economic Area (EEA).
Limited companies with directors residing outside the EEA have two options:
The director should be 18 years of age and above, with no specific qualifications required. A director may not be eligible if:
An Irish limited company must appoint a secretary to handle administrative tasks. If your company has one director, your company must comply with the regulatory requirement and appoint a separate secretary to oversee the company’s administration. However, this role can be fulfilled by an individual or a corporate entity. Icon Offices can act as your company secretary.
Icon Offices' virtual office services come with secretarial services that will help your business handle all the administrative tasks in line with the director’s directives.
A limited company will have shareholders who will prepare and sign the Constitution. The Constitution states the share capital of the company. Share capital represents the ownership of the company and is divided into shares. The minimum share capital requirement for an LTD company is €0.01.
Types of shares include;
The constitution should state the intended business activity and the appropriate NACE code. Form A1 should detail the first directors, secretary, and situation of the Registered Office to be declared in the presence of a solicitor notary or Commissioner of Oaths in the Republic of Ireland.
It is important to note that the Registry will only incorporate new companies that prove they intend to undertake some activity in the Republic of Ireland.
You can use your residential address for your Irish limited company as long as it is not a P.O. Box. The registered office address is made available to the public. If you want to maintain the privacy of your residential address, you can use registered office address services for your business.
To check the name availability in Ireland, you can use the Companies Registration Office (CRO) online tool. https://core.cro.ie/

The important compliance requirements for Irish limited companies are:
After Irish limited company incorporation, you will receive a Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of Association, and potentially a Certificate of Good Standing/Letter of Status from the Companies Registration Office (CRO).
