With a limited company in Ireland, businesses can enjoy access to the EU market, a low corporate tax rate, a network of double tax treaties and other tax incentives. As one of the most exciting and innovative economies in Europe, Ireland enjoys a pro-business culture and offers initiatives to support start-ups in Ireland with practical and financial assistance. Ireland has become particularly attractive as a holding company location for foreign investors in industries such as technology, gaming, pharmaceuticals and financial services.
While some uncertainty remains post-Brexit there is no doubt that Dublin remains a powerhouse and might see further growth once the UK formally exits the European Union. Contact IBCF today to explore company formations in Ireland, ensuring access to the EU single market in the years ahead.
