Frequently Asked Questions
How long does company formation take?
Company formation typically takes 5-18 business days depending on the jurisdiction. Mexico and Panama are fastest (5-8 days), while Brazil and Argentina may take longer (10-18 days). We provide exact timelines during the consultation phase.
Which countries do you support?
We currently support 9 Latin American markets: Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Argentina, Panama, Ecuador, and Costa Rica. We can also support expansion across the broader LATAM region through our trusted partner network.
Do I need a local director?
It depends on the country. Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Panama, and Ecuador require local directors or legal representatives. Mexico, Chile, Argentina, and Costa Rica do not. We provide qualified local directors where required.
Can you support existing entities?
Yes, we can take over compliance, accounting, and company secretarial services for entities you've already formed. We'll conduct a compliance audit and bring everything up to date before ongoing management begins.
Do you provide accounting services?
Yes, we provide full accounting and tax services including monthly bookkeeping, tax declarations (VAT/IVA, corporate tax, payroll tax), financial reporting, and annual statutory accounts preparation.
Can I manage multiple countries through one platform?
Yes, this is one of our key differentiators. The NavviPal platform allows you to manage all your LATAM entities from a single dashboard with complete visibility into compliance deadlines, tax filings, documents, and entity status.
What documents are required?
Requirements vary by country, but typically include: passport copies of shareholders/directors, proof of address, company formation documents (if an existing company), and business plan/description. We provide a complete checklist during consultation.
How does pricing work?
Pricing varies by country, entity type, and services required. Company formation is a one-time fee, while compliance and accounting services are annual or monthly recurring charges. We provide transparent quotes with no hidden fees.
