The company must correspond to actual operations

Registration is the beginning of work: we determine in advance the activities, management, licenses, taxes and banking circuit. In this jurisdiction we separately take into account corporate substance, investment basis, banking audit and the role of the country in the international structure.

Unacceptable activity

The corporate form or foreign ownership chosen may not be suitable for the proposed operations.

Formal registration

A company without clear management, team and business purpose creates tax and banking risks.

Licenses and permits

Registration of a legal entity does not replace industry approvals and the right to actually conduct business.

Responsibilities after launch

Accounting, reporting, capital and local procedures must be planned before registration in Panama.

Is it possible to register a company with 100% foreign ownership?

Acceptability varies by industry, license, and form chosen. We check the restrictions before preparing the structure.

We carry out diagnostics and a significant part of the preparation remotely. Personal presence depends on the specific procedure in Panama.

What is included in the preliminary assessment?

Checking the initial task, main restrictions, participants and issues that need to be resolved before launch.

How is the cost of support determined?

After diagnostics, when the volume of documents, external procedures, local specialists and the number of participants are clear.

Purpose, nationality and composition of participants, desired period, geography of income or operations and known restrictions.
