Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we get asked most often about setting up and running a company in Argentina. If yours is not here, just ask.
How long does it take to incorporate a company in Argentina?
Between 10 and 30 business days from submission of complete documentation, depending on the entity type and processing times. If a foreign company is a shareholder, its prior Article 123 registration adds several weeks.
Do I need to travel to Argentina?
No. The whole process can be handled remotely with notarized, apostilled documentation. You grant us a power of attorney and we take care of everything on your behalf.
SRL, SAS or SA, which one should I choose?
SRL: 2 to 50 partners, the most solid structure. SAS: single shareholder possible, the fastest to set up. SA: for larger projects or issuing shares. We recommend the best fit in a free consultation.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a company in Argentina?
Yes. Argentina places no restrictions on foreign ownership in most sectors, with the same rights as a local shareholder and no limits on repatriating profits.
Can a foreign company be a partner?
Yes. It must first register its documentation with the companies registry under Section 123 of the General Companies Law, which we handle together with the incorporation.
Do I need a physical office in Argentina?
No. We provide a registered fiscal domicile in Buenos Aires (CABA) that satisfies the legal requirement.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the service, the structure and the complexity of your case. We give you a clear, all-in quote before we start, with no surprises.
How much capital do I need to start?
The SRL has no fixed minimum, the SAS requires the equivalent of two minimum wages (currently around USD 500) and the SA a higher minimum (currently around USD 20,000).
What taxes will my company pay?
Income Tax (35%), VAT (21%), Turnover Tax (variable by jurisdiction) and employer contributions if you have staff.
Do you only do company formation, or also ongoing support?
Both, and the ongoing part is our strength. Beyond incorporation we handle accounting and tax compliance and act as your ongoing business and legal advisor, all under one roof.
Do you handle other matters, like trademarks or visas?
Yes. On request we also register trademarks and assist with residence and work visas for company directors, among other legal and tax matters.
