Questions clients ask
How do you set up a company in Panama?
A subsidiary is incorporated as a local company, typically through Spanish-language constitutional documents filed with the Public Registry, plus the license the activity requires. We coordinate that path and the operating work around it. This is consulting support, and regulated steps are completed with the proper local professionals.
What is the difference between a subsidiary and selling through a distributor?
A subsidiary is your own Panamanian company. A distributor sells for you under contract and does not put your legal entity on the ground. Representation can bridge the gap. Establishment is the point at which you incorporate and staff.
Can a foreign company operate in a Panama free trade zone?
Yes. Free-zone and special-economic-zone companies are a common base for regional headquarters, services, and trading, and they can be foreign-owned. The zone license is a separate authorization from ordinary incorporation, and it has to match the activity.
What else does establishment cover besides incorporation?
International recruitment and HR, mergers and acquisitions support, tax optimization, financing introductions, wealth management, commercial and residential real estate, and insurance. The aim is a company that can operate, not a shelf entity.
Do shareholders have to immigrate in order to incorporate?
Incorporation and residency are different processes. A residence permit is not automatically required to register a local company. If people will live in Panama, that is planned alongside the company, not treated as the same filing.
