Help with Investing in Ireland
Ireland’s low corporation tax rate, full EU membership, highly skilled workforce and business-friendly environment make it highly attractive for foreign direct investment. For businesses looking to establish or expand a presence in Europe, it is a compelling choice.
Getting the setup right from the start matters. The decisions made at the point of establishing an Irish entity — on structure, tax position, banking, employment, and compliance — have consequences that are considerably easier to address early than to unwind later.
Merry Mullen has been advising international businesses investing in Ireland for decades. We understand the Irish business and regulatory landscape. Through our membership of GMNI, we maintain close working relationships with accountancy firms across 49 countries. We can coordinate advice across jurisdictions, not just provide it for Ireland in isolation.
