Hiring a dummy company director just to have some Ireland company seems a lot of trouble straight from the start. I've also always looked funny at the companies providing these "services", they are almost similar to companies selling offshores in Pacific or something. Not being able to sign something for your own company seems really restricting, especially when you basically don't even know the director. PS: On a personal note, the only unpaid invoice I ever had is from an Ireland company but then again it was also the only Ireland-based company I worked for, so it's not statistically signifiant.
