Why Use a Nominee Secretary?

All Irish Limited Companies must appoint a Company Secretary. If your company has multiple directors, one can take the role. However, single-director companies must appoint another individual to meet compliance requirements.

Our Nominee Company Secretary Service handles this for you, so you can complete the company formation process without involving additional parties.
