Frequently asked questions
Can I incorporate without traveling to El Salvador?
Yes. With an apostilled power of attorney signed in your home country, we can incorporate and register the company on your behalf.
Do I need a local partner?
No. Foreign investors may own 100% of a Salvadoran company. A minimum of two shareholders is required to incorporate, which can be arranged in the structure we design for you.
How long does incorporation take?
With complete documentation, incorporation and core registrations are typically completed within a few weeks. We provide a detailed timeline during your initial consultation.
