Every Irish company needs at least one director who lives in the EEA, unless it holds a Section 137 bond or a Section 140 certificate. We can arrange a nominee director or the bond.
A nominee director is a full director under the Companies Act, with the same legal duties as any other director. They'll need to understand the company's business and receive its board papers, and we carry out due diligence before agreeing to any appointment. Every appointment is assessed individually, and the prices shown apply where we accept it on standard terms.

NomineeHub.ie is operated by The Startup Shop Limited, licensed as a Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP) under Irish anti-money laundering law, licence APP/1292/2021. The licence means we're registered and supervised for this work; it isn't an endorsement of our prices.
Identity checks are carried out through AML HQ. Your documents, registers and scanned post are kept in the OPSUS 360 client portal, where only the team handling your company can see them. Identity check records are kept for 5 years after we stop working together, as anti-money laundering law requires; our privacy policy sets out how long we keep everything else.
Our company secretarial team handles your appointment, filings and post. Phone, email or WhatsApp us, and you'll speak to the people doing the work.
Under the Companies Act 2014, every director must make sure the company complies with the Act. A nominee secretary or registered office takes the paperwork off your hands; it doesn't take away the directors' duties.
Who checks your filing. Work is prepared by our team of qualified bookkeepers, accounts assistants and company secretarial staff, then reviewed and signed off by a qualified accountant (FCCA or ACCA) before it goes in.

Message Us on WhatsAppYes. A company must have a secretary, who can be a director but can't be the company's only director. The directors must make sure the secretary has the skills to do the job.
Yes, with the Nominee Registered Office service. Official post is scanned and emailed to you the same day, and your home isn't used as the company's registered office. Directors' own details on CRO filings are a separate matter.
Records the company must keep of its directors and secretaries, its members (shareholders), and its beneficial owners, among others. We keep them updated as part of Company Secretary Maintenance. If yours are missing, we can recreate them for a separate fee.
The Register of Beneficial Ownership records the people who ultimately own or control a company. Companies must file their beneficial owners and notify changes. We can file these for you through MyCoSec.ie.
Yes. A company without an EEA-resident director needs either a nominee EEA-resident director (from €1,499.99 + VAT a year) or a Section 137 bond (€1,849.99 + VAT for 2 years).
We're appointed as your company secretary for the year, file the B10 for the appointment, act in the role and sign documents as secretary where needed, and remind you of your annual return and RBO deadlines. Filings, minutes and register updates are charged per job at MyCoSec.ie prices, or included in Company Secretary Maintenance. CRO fees are extra.
A nominee director is a real person resident in the EEA who joins your board, with all of a director's legal duties. A Section 137 bond is a €25,000 insurance bond, renewed every two years, that lets the company operate without an EEA-resident director. The bond is usually the simpler choice unless you also want an EEA presence on the board.
Sign up, and we'll contact your current secretary to collect the registers and records. We then file our appointment with the CRO. There's no gap in cover.
