Dublin, Ireland – 8/May/25 — With Ireland consistently ranked as one of the best countries in Europe for doing business, entrepreneurs and international companies alike are turning their attention to the Emerald Isle. Whether you're launching a startup or expanding your operations into Europe, setting up a company in Ireland is a smart, strategic move. Chern & Co., a leading Irish firm specialising in company formation and corporate legal services, is making the process faster, smoother, and fully compliant with local regulations.

Why Choose Ireland?

Ireland's pro-business environment, low corporate tax rate (12.5%), and English-speaking workforce make it an attractive destination for foreign direct investment. As an EU member state, it also provides seamless access to the European single market, making it especially appealing to tech companies, fintech firms, and startups in innovation-driven sectors.

The country also offers a transparent legal system, political stability, and a wealth of government supports for new businesses. For non-residents, Ireland serves as a strategic gateway to Europe with straightforward incorporation processes.

Types of Companies in Ireland

The most common form of business entity in Ireland is the Private Company Limited by Shares (LTD). Other structures include Designated Activity Companies (DACs), Companies Limited by Guarantee (CLGs), and Sole Traders. The LTD is popular because it requires only one director and one shareholder, has limited liability, and does not require authorized share capital.

Steps to Set Up a Company in Ireland

Choose a Company Name – The name must be unique and not resemble existing Irish company names. Chern & Co. provides a name-check service to ensure compliance.

Decide on Company Type – Most entrepreneurs opt for an LTD company, but Chern & Co. can advise on the most suitable structure based on your business goals.

Appoint Directors and Secretary – You need at least one EEA-resident director or must take out a Section 137 Bond. Chern & Co. can act as your company secretary or arrange the necessary bond for non-EEA residents.

Registered Office Address – A legal Irish address is required. Chern & Co. offers registered office services in Dublin, ensuring compliance and professional representation.

Prepare and File Incorporation Documents – These include the Constitution, Form A1, and other statutory documentation. Chern & Co. handles the full filing process electronically with the Companies Registration Office (CRO).

Register for Taxes – Depending on your business activities, you may need to register for Corporation Tax, VAT, and Employer PAYE. Chern & Co. facilitates all relevant tax registrations.

Open a Business Bank Account – While banks require in-person meetings for non-residents, Chern & Co. partners with financial institutions and fintech providers to ease this process.
