How do I create a Mexican Corporation Sociedad Anonima (SA)?
Once you obtain a permit from The Department of Exterior Relations, whereby you register the name of the Mexican corporation, you then create the articles of incorporation. This requires a “Notario” who is a keeper of the public record appointed by the state, licensed as an attorney who passed the notario exam and is willing to forgo litigation. After the articles of incorporation are recorded in the public record, Next is the process to obtain necessary permits such as Hacienda, or taxes, the Department of Commerce, Department of Immigration, State Registry, Chamber of Commerce, SIC code data base and an Import/Export permit with certain industries requiring additional permits. It generally takes about 6 weeks to complete the process and cost approximately US$1,000 in addition to a $500 notario fee. Hiring a consultant to process the paper work and complete registries may involve additional fees.
