Build a Corporation – Start Investing

In Panamá, Investments begin with Corporations. Therefore, Business Law and Corporations are closely related. Corporations assure identity and assets be protected and private.

Panamá is one of the top countries in the world in legal confidentiality. So, if you are an investor interested in; opening a Business, buying Real Estate, or getting your Residency, you will want to establish a Corporation first.

Law 32 from 1927 established the Socieded Anónima (SA), or the Corporation. For official Legal requirements on establishing a Corporation, visit: https://www.gacetaoficial.gob.pa/gacetas/05067_1927.pdf

What are Corporations?

A Corporation is a legal representation of a natural person in Panamà. Therefore, Real Estate and businesses are often owned by a Corporation. This means when you establish a Corporation, you have the legal authority to act as a resident of Panamá. With this Corporation, you can buy and sell Real Estate, open a business and much more.

Do I need a Corporation?

You may decide that you do not want to open a Corporation. That is fine. However, this leaves your personal name vulnerable. So, If your property or business suffers from a legal bind, then the responsible party is recognized under your personal name, rather than the name of a Corporation.

The main purpose of a Corporation is to protect your identity. Hence, a Corporation will be responsible for all investments, not your name.

Corporations are also needed to open a Bank Account in Panamà.
