Nearshoring

Foreign companies

You need the Mexican subsidiary with the right structure toward your parent, and contracts that work in both languages.

In operation

SMEs

Your company already invoices and it is time to tidy up: shareholder meetings, corporate books and contracts with clients and vendors.

Frequently asked questions · Folio 05

What clients ask before incorporating.

How much does it cost to incorporate a company in Mexico in 2026?+

Our fees start from $12,000 MXN plus VAT. Formalization and registry costs are third party expenses, paid separately and presented to you in writing before we start. The fee is fixed and agreed upfront.

S.A. de C.V., S. de R.L. or SAS?+

The SAS is formed online, admits a single shareholder and only individuals. The S.A. and the S. de R.L. admit corporate partners, including foreign companies, and are the standard vehicles to operate and receive investment. With US partners or investors, the S. de R.L. de C.V. can elect pass through treatment (check the box) and the S.A. de C.V. is always treated as a corporation. The analysis is part of our proposal.

Can foreigners own 100% of a Mexican company?+

Yes. In most economic activities foreign investors can hold 100% of the capital. Some activities have limits or require authorization under Mexico’s Foreign Investment Law; we review this with you before incorporating.

What do I need to incorporate?+

IDs and details of the partners, a company name to clear with the Ministry of Economy, corporate purpose, capital and the internal rules you want to agree. We prepare everything and coordinate the signing of the deed.

How long does it take?+

Name clearance and the draft bylaws are usually resolved in days. Signing and registration depend on the formalization calendar and the Public Registry; we give you a realistic timeline in the proposal.

What if my company already exists but is a mess inside?+

More common than you think. We run a corporate diagnosis: pending meetings, books, powers of attorney and capital. You get the list of what is missing, the order to fix it and a fixed fee in writing.

Shall we incorporate or tidy up your company?

Tell us what you want to build and we reply with the suggested structure, the timeline and the fee in writing, within 24 hours.
