Frequently Asked Questions

Can I set up an Irish company if I’m not a resident?

Yes, non-residents can fully own an Irish LTD. However, a local EEA-resident director is typically required. UCI provides nominee director services if needed.

Why is Ireland attractive for tech and IP companies?

Ireland offers an R&D tax credit, an IP regime with 6.25% effective tax, and access to EU digital markets, making it a top choice for innovation-based companies.

Do I need an Irish office address?

Yes, a registered Irish business address is required. UCI provides physical or virtual office solutions in Dublin and other cities.

What’s the difference between LTD and DAC?
