Entity Formations and Foreign Registrations

In Argentina, the most common entity structures for businesses are the Sociedad Anónima (SA) and the Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada (SRL). The SA, or corporation, is suitable for larger businesses and requires a minimum of two shareholders, while the SRL, or limited liability company, is ideal for small to medium-sized enterprises and can be formed by two or more partners. Both structures offer limited liability protection, meaning shareholders or partners are only liable for the capital they contribute. Another popular option is the Sucursal (branch office), which allows foreign companies to operate in Argentina without creating a separate legal entity.

The incorporation process involves registering with the Inspección General de Justicia (IGJ) or the relevant local registry, drafting bylaws, depositing initial capital, and obtaining a tax identification number (CUIT). Compliance with corporate and tax regulations, such as filing annual financial statements, is essential to maintain good standing.

Partnering with our company ensures a seamless incorporation process in Argentina. We handle every step, from entity selection and document preparation to registration with the authorities, ensuring your company is set up quickly and efficiently. With our local expertise, we provide ongoing support to navigate compliance tasks and legal obligations, helping you avoid costly mistakes. Let us guide you through Argentina’s business landscape and streamline your entry into this dynamic market.

Registered Agent/Registered Office

In Argentina, every company is required to have a registered office within the country. This office must be a physical location, not a P.O. box, where official documents can be delivered and where the company is legally domiciled. It serves as the official address for tax and legal correspondence, and failure to maintain a registered office can result in penalties or delays in compliance. Partnering with our company ensures you meet these critical legal requirements without hassle. We provide professional registered office services, ensuring your company remains in full compliance with Argentine regulations. By working with us, you benefit from our local expertise, reliable infrastructure, and personalized support to streamline your business operations in Argentina.

Document Retrievals (i.e Good Standing, Certified Copy)

Obtaining corporate documents, such as certificates of good standing and certified copies, from the Argentina Corporate Registry is a critical step in ensuring that your business remains compliant with local regulations. These documents confirm that a company is properly registered, in good legal standing, and has met its ongoing compliance obligations. The process can be time-consuming and requires familiarity with the registry’s procedures to avoid delays or errors. By choosing our company, you ensure a smooth and efficient experience, as we handle all the paperwork and liaise directly with the corporate registry. Our local expertise allows us to obtain the necessary documents quickly and accurately, saving you time and reducing the risk of mistakes. Trust our professional services to manage your corporate document needs with precision and reliability.

Apostilles/Legalizations

In Argentina, the apostille and legalization process is essential for validating documents for international use. The apostille certifies that a document is authentic and can be recognized in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention. For countries not part of this convention, the document must undergo legalization through the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This process ensures that documents like contracts, corporate filings, and personal certificates are officially recognized abroad. Partnering with our company guarantees that your documents are handled swiftly and accurately through the apostille or legalization process. Our team’s expertise in local procedures helps avoid unnecessary delays, ensuring that your paperwork is valid and compliant for international business or legal purposes. Let us simplify the process for you with our professional and efficient services.

Due Diligence Searches (i.e Lien, Judgment, Bankruptcy)

Due diligence searches in Argentina, such as court records searches, bankruptcy checks, and liens investigations, are essential steps when assessing the financial and legal standing of a company or individual. These searches help identify any ongoing or past legal issues, financial instability, or encumbrances that could impact a business relationship or investment decision. Conducting thorough due diligence is crucial for mitigating risks and making informed decisions. Choosing our company ensures a comprehensive and accurate due diligence process, backed by local expertise and deep knowledge of the Argentine legal system. We offer reliable, timely, and confidential search services, allowing you to proceed with confidence in your business ventures. Let us help safeguard your investments with our expert-driven due diligence solutions.
