Market entry, structured
A well-planned entry usually combines several pieces: the right corporate structure, representation for shareholders who live abroad, ongoing administration once the company exists, the contracts the operation runs on, trademark protection, a compliance baseline, coordination with accounting and tax professionals, and a digital presence. You do not need all of it on day one — but you should know the map before you start walking.
Frequently asked questions
Can I incorporate without being in El Salvador?
In many cases, yes — through powers of attorney and remote coordination. Whether that fits your case is confirmed in the initial consultation.
Who represents my company if I live abroad?
The company needs a clear answer to that question from day one. Representation can be structured through corporate appointments and powers of attorney, always within the scope legally granted.
Will you open my bank account?
No professional can guarantee bank onboarding: banks apply their own KYC and acceptance criteria. What we do is prepare the corporate documentation banks ask for and coordinate the process where applicable.
Do you work with my accountant back home?
Yes — and locally we coordinate with qualified accounting, tax, audit and payroll professionals when required. Those services are provided by them, not resold as ours.
What does ongoing support look like?
Recurring corporate plans: administration, secretarial work, representation and outsourcing, with scope and fees set in writing.
