In short: the EU / EEA Resident package is for founders resident in the EU or EEA who want a fully compliant Irish limited company with no Section 137 bond and no nominee director. Price EUR 2,000 (excl. VAT). Most companies are incorporated within 3 to 5 working days.
Form your Irish limited company as an EU or EEA resident, fully remote and with no Section 137 bond required. Chern & Co, a licensed Irish TCSP, handles CRO registration, registered office, company secretary, all tax registrations and RBO filing in one all-inclusive package for EUR 2,000 (excl. VAT). Most companies are incorporated within 3 to 5 working days.
No. Section 137 of the Companies Act 2014 only requires a non-EEA director bond when a company has no EEA-resident director. As an EU or EEA resident you satisfy the director requirement yourself, so no bond and no nominee director are needed. This is what makes the EU/EEA route the simplest and cheapest way to form an Irish company. (EEA = the EU 27 plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.)
| Criterion | EU / EEA resident (this package) | Non-EEA resident |
|---|---|---|
| Director residency requirement | You satisfy it yourself | Company needs an EEA-resident director solution |
| Section 137 bond | Not required | Required, unless an EEA-resident director is appointed |
| Nominee director | Not needed | Optional route |
| Typical package | EUR 2,000 (this page) | Non-Resident Company Formation, EUR 3,750 |

Under Companies Act 2014, every Irish company must appoint a secretary. As long as your company has at least two directors, one of them can act as a company secretary. If you’re a sole director, you will need a person or a company to carry out secretarial duties.

Company address is a destination for legal correspondence and a legal requirement for setting up Irish Ltd. All of your company’s notices and correspondence from the CRO will be sent to this address.
All company directors must submit their PPS (Personal Public Service) numbers when filing certain forms to CRO including company formation form. IPN (Identified Person Number) is equivalent to PPSN which must be obtained for every non-resident director of an Irish company for further CRO filings.
This is the first mandatory step to company formation, which includes a deep search for identification of similar or phonetically identical company names as names already registered..
