A Mexican company
Common routes include a Sociedad Anónima and a Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada. The choice should reflect ownership, governance and the intended commercial activity.
Mexican company formation
Company formation in Mexico
Prepare your Mexican business for incorporation and the steps that make it operational. We connect the legal entity, local representation, tax registration and banking preparation in one establishment brief.
Your establishment options
Start with the right structure.
The route depends on your activity, ownership and operating plans. These are the decisions to resolve before the application.
Constitution & registration
Prepare the company name, corporate purpose, address and ownership. Coordinate the applicable incorporation formalities and registration with the Public Registry of Commerce.
Tax & operational readiness
An incorporated company needs its own tax-registration workstream. SAT’s RFC registration identifies the entity to the tax authority; banking and operating arrangements should be planned alongside it.
Local establishment essentials
Know what comes next.
The exact document list follows the selected entity, owners and activity. Your adviser will confirm the requirements for your case.
- Define the company form, corporate purpose and ownership.
- Prepare the name authorisation and incorporation documents.
- Coordinate local representation and commercial registration.
- Arrange the company’s RFC registration and review banking requirements.
After incorporation
Plan for the years ahead.
Mexican companies with foreign investment must assess RNIE registration and reporting obligations. Quarterly updates depend on the changes made and applicable thresholds; the annual economic report is also threshold-based. Build the relevant reporting calendar around the actual ownership and financial position.
From decision to establishment
A clear path to your next company.
The scope is agreed before the work begins. You can see what is included, who is responsible and what information is needed.
01
Define your requirements
We review the activity, owners, operating markets and practical requirements. Where the destination is undecided, the brief starts with comparing options.
02
Review your proposal
Your proposal sets out the chosen route, work involved, professional fees and external costs. Timing is assessed against the actual application and dependencies.
03
Establish & prepare to operate
Following agreement, the incorporation work and supporting steps are coordinated. Banking, visas and sector permissions follow their own assessment and approval processes.
Beyond incorporation
Bring the decisions together.
Select the support your business needs. The agreed scope may combine formation with corporate structuring, tax advice, banking preparation and relocation planning.
01 / Structure
Ownership & governance
Clarify shareholders, decision-making and the relationship with your wider group.
02 / TaxInternational tax advisory

04 / PeopleVisas & personal residency

Costs & timing
One proposal.
Your actual requirements.
Every case is quoted individually. The activity, ownership, location, premises and additional services determine the work and cost.
Professional work
The advisory, preparation and coordination included in your engagement.
External charges
Authority, notarial, registry, workspace and third-party costs, as applicable.
Time & dependencies
The document readiness, authority reviews and separate banking or immigration steps that influence delivery.
Your questions
Before you begin.
Is incorporation the last step in Mexico?
No. Tax registration and operational arrangements remain part of getting the company ready. We include local representation, RFC registration and banking preparation in the scope discussion.
How much will my company setup cost?
We quote each case individually after reviewing the proposed activity, owners and required support. Your proposal separates professional fees from authority and third-party charges.
Can formation, banking and visas be handled together?
They can be coordinated within an agreed scope where applicable. Each follows its own requirements, and the relevant authority or bank makes the approval decision.
Your next step
Let’s plan your establishment.
Tell us your business activity, intended markets, ownership and any visa or banking needs. We will define the scope and prepare an individual proposal.
A short outline is enough to begin. Please do not email passports or bank documents at this stage.
