A nominee director Ireland is a qualified, Irish-resident individual appointed to appear on your company’s public CRO records and fulfil the statutory director obligations required under the Companies Act 2014. They satisfy the legal requirement for an EEA-resident director while you the beneficial owner retain full control of your company through a formal nominee director agreement.
The nominee acts strictly on your instructions. They do not participate in day-to-day business decisions, and their role can be ended at any time.
A nominee shareholder holds the legal title to shares in your company on your behalf. All economic interests dividends, voting rights, and ownership value remain entirely with you as the beneficial owner, secured by a declaration of trust.

We assist in setting up a local bank account for newly registered company in Ireland
An Irish-registered company must have a business bank account since it is a separate legal entity from the people who own it. Within two weeks after registration, we can create a corporate bank account for your Irish company thanks to our streamlined procedure and solid connections with key personnel in Ireland’s top high street banks. Due to the stringent banking regulations in Ireland, which can make it challenging and time-consuming for directors to visit the banks and create a business bank account, we have developed this service.
A face-to-face contact with at least one of the company directors is required by many Irish banks, although in some circumstances, we can facilitate corporate bank accounts remotely. To find out if you are eligible, please contact us.
