Can foreigners own Mexican corporations?
Yes, according to our General Foreign Investment Law, foreigners are now allowed to form 100% of the partners of Mexican corporations. The only restrictions apply to the purpose of the corporation, as certain activities are reserved for the Mexican Nation and others for Mexican citizens. Mexican companies with foreign capital and/or foreign partners (in any proportion) are subject to the same rules as 100% Mexican-owned companies, as well as certain minimum standards for registration and statistics such as registering the company at the National Registry of Foreign Investment.
