Your company doesn't start with paperwork—it starts with getting it right
We handle Irish company formation with a focus on what actually matters: proper structure, clear compliance, and none of the confusion that wastes your time.
Talk through your setupMost founders regret their company structure within 18 months
It's not dramatic—just expensive and annoying. They picked the wrong entity type because the online guides made it sound simple. Or they registered in the wrong jurisdiction because someone said it would save money.
Here's what we see repeatedly: a Limited company when a DAC made more sense for future investment rounds. Directors listed without understanding personal liability. Shareholder agreements that create problems down the line instead of preventing them.
We don't do fast formation. We do thorough formation. The kind where you understand what you're signing, why it matters, and what happens next year when your business changes shape.
Why businesses choose careful over quick
Real conversations first
Before any forms get filed, we walk through your actual business model, not a template version. What you're building determines structure, not the other way around.
Irish law, explained clearly
Companies Registration Office requirements, Revenue obligations, and director responsibilities—all in English you can understand without a law degree.
Built for change
Your company structure should accommodate growth, not block it. We set things up knowing you'll hire people, raise funds, or pivot models.
What working together looks like
No mystery process. No surprise fees. Just a straightforward path from idea to incorporated entity.
Structure consultation
We discuss your business model, funding plans, and growth expectations. This determines whether you need a private limited company, designated activity company, or another structure entirely. Most people get this wrong by skipping this conversation.
Document preparation
Constitution, shareholder agreements, director service contracts—all drafted with your specific situation in mind. We explain each clause and why it matters before you sign anything.
Registration with CRO
We file everything with the Companies Registration Office, handle the back-and-forth if they have questions, and make sure your company number comes through without delays.
Post-formation setup
Company bank account requirements, Revenue registration, first director resolutions—we walk you through the immediate next steps so nothing important gets missed in those first weeks.
What sets our approach apart from quick online services
We challenge assumptions
If your planned structure doesn't match your business reality, we'll tell you. Even if it means less straightforward paperwork for us.
Protection beyond compliance
Meeting Companies Act requirements is baseline. We focus on protecting you from common disputes, liability issues, and structural problems that emerge later.
Irish context matters
Operating in Galway or Dublin makes a difference. Local authority requirements, regional grants, and practical banking relationships all factor into how we set things up.
Where we add value beyond basic registration
Company formation is straightforward if all you need is a legal entity. It gets complicated when you need that entity to actually serve your business properly.
Multi-founder situations
When multiple people are involved, shareholder agreements become critical. We draft terms that handle decision-making, equity splits, exit scenarios, and what happens if someone wants out. These conversations are uncomfortable but necessary.
Foreign director compliance
If you're not an Irish resident, there are bond requirements and additional steps. We handle the Section 137 process and make sure you meet the real economic presence requirements Revenue actually cares about.
Investment-ready structures
Raising money later means investors will examine your company structure closely. We set things up with standard preferences, option pools, and share classes that won't create problems during due diligence.
Group company arrangements
If you're establishing an Irish entity as part of a larger corporate structure, we handle the subsidiary setup, parent company relationships, and inter-company agreements properly from day one.
We're not interested in volume formation work
There are cheaper options if you just want a company number quickly. Automated services that charge less and move faster.
We work with founders and business owners who understand that proper setup saves problems later. People who want to discuss their specific situation, not fill out a standard form.
Our clients typically come to us because they tried the quick route and realized it created issues. Or they talked to an accountant who said their structure needed proper attention. Or they simply want to do this right the first time.
If that sounds like your situation, let's talk through what you're building and figure out the right approach for your company.
