Become a business owner in Mexico
Firstly, if you're considering establishing a business in Mexico, living in the country is an option. Land ownership can differ based on whether it's through a corporation or individually.
Lorad specializes in corporate property acquisition, offering various benefits such as tax deductions through Hacienda (Mexico's IRS equivalent) or facilitating the hiring of local workers.
Expanding in Mexico holds numerous advantages. For instance, Mexico and its neighbor, the United States, have maintained strong trade relationships, as seen in the commerce statistics between the two countries in 2023.
Legal Requirements to open a business in Mexico
The initial step involves creating a company through a founding charter or incorporation deed. This entity can consist entirely of foreign capital, with stakeholders being natural individuals or business entities.
Even from a distance, handling paperwork is feasible with apostilled documents—authenticated documents that function internationally. We can assist in this process, ensuring your ability to own a business in Mexico without needing in-person formalities.
Additionally, you'll require an RFC (Federal Registry of Contributors), a vital code necessary for any individual or business entity engaging in economic activities in Mexico. If you're considering starting a business in Mexico, obtaining an RFC is essential.
Furthermore, having legal representation within Mexico and a fiscal address registered under a company stakeholder's name are vital prerequisites.
