Prices exclude VAT at 23%. The price includes the transfer filings (the B10 and RBO filings have no official fee). A name change is extra: €149.99 + VAT plus the CRO's €50 fee. We prepare the stock transfer form for signature. Shelf company shares change hands at a nominal value, so in most cases no stamp duty is payable; we confirm the position for your company before you pay.
The company's name, number and incorporation date; that its annual returns are filed with dormant accounts; that no charges are registered against it at the CRO; that its RBO filing is up to date; and that it hasn't traded, opened a bank account or registered for tax. If any of these isn't true for a particular company, we tell you before you decide.
Our companies are true shelf companies: dormant since incorporation, never traded, with no bank account and no tax registration. We put that in writing in the transfer documents, with a warranty and indemnity against any liabilities from before the transfer.
Once your ID checks are done and you've paid, we send the transfer documents for signature, usually the same or next working day. Your directors take office on the date of their appointment, and you become the shareholder when the transfer is entered in the register of members. We file the B10 with the CRO and update the company's own register of beneficial owners straight away, then notify the RBO within 14 days of that entry.
Our registered office address, with official post scanned and emailed, and acting as company secretary, signing as secretary and reminding you of deadlines. Annual returns, accounts and tax returns aren't included. After 12 months, the two continue as Company Essentials at €299.99 + VAT a year, and we remind you before then; you can cancel or move them elsewhere.
No waiting for a new incorporation. Once the checks are done and you've paid, we start the transfer.
We confirm each company's filing history before you buy, so you know exactly what you're taking on.
Registered office and company secretary for 12 months, so you're compliant from day one.
Directors notified to the CRO, shares recorded in the register of members, and beneficial owners updated with the RBO.
No PPS number? We handle the IPN applications too.

An Irish company needs at least one director resident in the EEA, or a Section 137 bond or Section 140 certificate instead. If none of your directors are, we can provide a nominee director.
Once you've paid and your ID is verified, we prepare the transfer documents for signature straight away. The CRO and RBO filings follow as soon as they're signed.
As a licensed Trust or Company Service Provider, we must verify every new director and beneficial owner before transferring a company.
