FROM DECISION TO OPERATION

We do not stop at incorporation. We help your company become operational in Peru.

Foreign investors usually begin by asking how to create a legal entity. In practice, the project also involves powers, local registrations, tax setup, accounting, invoicing and—when employees are hired—payroll and labor compliance.

01

Initial assessment

We understand the proposed activity, shareholders, management structure and operating plan.

02

Company structure

We coordinate the chosen corporate vehicle, capital, governance and powers required in Peru.

03

Incorporation

Corporate documents, notarial formalities and registration with the Peruvian Public Registry.

04

Tax registration

RUC, SUNAT access and the initial tax and invoicing setup applicable to the business.

FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS

What does a foreign investor need to set up a company in Peru?

The exact documentation depends on whether the shareholder is an individual or a foreign legal entity, who will sign in Peru, and the powers that need to be granted. Documents issued abroad may require apostille or legalization and, depending on the document, an official translation.

We confirm the documentation and sequence for each case before the incorporation process begins.

A practical entry point into Peru

If your group is still evaluating the market, we can coordinate directly with headquarters or your external advisers and explain the local accounting, tax and corporate requirements in English.
