Choose the support your business needs. Incorporation, tax registration and ongoing services each have their own requirements—we make the scope clear from the outset.
Business structure
Company & business
name registration
Support with the proposed name and relevant registration process. A business name registration and a company incorporation are different—we help clarify which you need.
Revenue &
tax registrations
Coordinate the relevant tax registrations for your business, including VAT and employer registration where applicable. Requirements depend on your circumstances.
Registered office
& company secretarial
Arrange registered office and company secretarial support where agreed, with clear responsibility for records, correspondence and recurring company obligations.
Accounting
& payroll setup
Put practical record-keeping, bookkeeping and payroll arrangements in place, so the business has a working routine beyond registration day.
Establishing your
Irish presence
Coordinate local setup and administration for overseas owners and international businesses entering Ireland, with the structure and requirements reviewed first.

How it works
A clear process.
From plans to practical steps.
Understand your plans
We discuss the activity, ownership, directors, residency and intended operations, then identify the setup work to consider.

We set out the services, fees and information required. Identity checks, documents and signatures are completed as needed.

We prepare and coordinate the agreed applications, then help organise the accounting and administration services you have chosen.
Common questions
Clarity before
you get started.
Requirements depend on the business structure and the people involved. We review your circumstances before confirming the work.
Do I need to visit Ireland to form a company?
Company formation can generally be coordinated remotely. You will still need to complete the required identity checks, provide documents and arrange signatures. We explain what is needed for your circumstances.
Can I register an Irish company if I live abroad?
Yes, but residency requirements must be addressed. An Irish company generally needs at least one EEA-resident director unless an applicable exemption is in place, such as a Section 137 bond. We review the requirements as part of the proposed setup.
What is needed to form an Irish limited company?
Typical information includes the proposed name, business activity, registered office, directors, company secretary, shareholders and share structure. Directors must be at least 18. An LTD can have one director, but a sole director cannot also act as the company secretary. We provide a checklist for your proposed company.
Does forming a company include tax registration?
Company incorporation and tax registration are separate steps. We can coordinate the relevant tax applications within the agreed scope. VAT registration depends on your activity and circumstances.
How long does setup take, and what does it cost?
Timing depends on the structure, completed documentation, checks and the relevant authorities. We confirm our proposed fees and explain any filing fees or additional services before starting. Tax registration and other setup work may follow different timelines.
Can RSC look after the accounts after registration?
Yes. We can agree ongoing bookkeeping, accounting, payroll and reporting services. For businesses needing a wider accounting function, we can also discuss our Outsourced Finance Department.
