Frequently asked questions

Before you write, the essentials.

Can a foreigner own a company in El Salvador?

Yes. Foreign individuals and foreign companies can hold ownership in Salvadoran companies. The right structure depends on your case, which is exactly what the initial consultation resolves.

Do I need to travel to El Salvador to incorporate?

Not necessarily. Many steps can be handled through powers of attorney and coordinated remotely. Whether travel is advisable depends on your structure and the institutions involved; we tell you plainly in the first conversation.

How long does company formation take?

It depends on the structure chosen and the workload of the registries involved. We give you a realistic estimate for your specific case before you engage — not a generic promise.

What does it cost?

Professional fees are quoted per engagement, always separated from government fees, notarial costs, registry costs and third-party expenses. You receive the full picture in writing before deciding.

Can you guarantee my trademark will be registered?

No professional can. Registration depends on the authority's examination. What we do is run a serious availability assessment before filing, so you invest with your eyes open.

Do you work in English?

Yes. The practice operates in Spanish and English, in writing and in meetings.

How does an engagement start?

You write with a short description of your case. You receive an honest assessment: whether we can help, what it takes, how long and what it costs, with scope and fees set in writing before any work begins. Acceptance of a matter is subject to review of scope, jurisdiction and, where applicable, conflicts of interest.

Do you also build the website for my new company?

Yes — web development and LegalTech are part of the practice, so your company can launch with its legal base and its digital presence handled within the same practice.
