- Which structure suits me: EAS, SRL or SA?
- It depends on how many partners you have and the complexity of the project. The EAS allows a single shareholder and is the most agile and affordable option, which is why it's preferred by entrepreneurs and SMEs. The SRL requires at least 2 partners and has moderate formalities. The SA starts at 3 shareholders and is justified for large projects or complex corporate structures. We cover this in detail in our comparison guide.
- Can a foreigner own 100% of the company?
- Yes. Paraguay allows an individual or company based abroad to hold 100% of the capital, with no need for a local partner. It's one of the sharpest differences compared to other countries in the region.
- Do I need to travel to Paraguay to set up the company?
- Not necessarily. The process can be done remotely by granting an apostilled power of attorney from your country. You do need to appoint a legal representative and have a fiscal address in Paraguay, both of which we handle.
- What taxes does a company pay once incorporated?
- The main ones are IRE (Corporate Income Tax) and VAT, both with a general rate of 10%. As a general rule, Paraguay does not apply wealth tax or capital gains tax. VAT returns are filed monthly.
- What happens after registration?
- Incorporating the company is the first step: monthly invoicing and tax filing obligations follow. We handle that stage too, so the company doesn't stay registered but inactive.
