In our firm we advise foreign investors that want to set up a Company in Mexico without the need of traveling to the Country, this because we can use Apostille Powers of Attorney (so our team can sign on your behalf).

If you want to set up your business in Mexico, you must consider these principal 8 steps:

  1. Request the name authorization to the ministry of economy.
  2. Articles of incorporation (if all shareholders are natural persons, they need to have RFC for Mexican citizen’s only).
  3. Legal representative (Is named in the articles of incorporation or a power of attorney can be granted).
  4. Proof of address. This is another important step in the constitution of a company in Mexico. You will need a local registered office to prove the existence of the company.
  5. Get an RFC: The RFC is the number of taxpayer identification of an individual or a Corporation in Mexico, the RFC is indispensable to perform economic activities in the Country. This can be obtained in the SAT offices threw your Mexican legal representative.
