1. Start with the activity
Describe the products or services, target customers and intended location. Some activities may require specific authorisations or conditions, which should be checked before launch.
2. Identify the people and their roles
Clarify the project owners, number of partners, residency status and intended responsibilities. These details inform the choice of structure and preparation of the articles.
3. Prepare the administrative stages
The process may include a negative certificate, articles, capital-related formalities where applicable, registration, identifiers and publications. Social obligations depend on the company’s circumstances.
4. Distinguish the identifiers
Commercial registration, tax identification, ICE and CNSS identification have different purposes. ICE complements the other identifiers; it does not replace them.
5. Build an appropriate file
Confirm the required documents for the structure, partners and activity. Begin with a scoping conversation before sharing sensitive documents.
General information to check against your circumstances. Procedures and requirements may change.
