What to confirm before applying
These are planning questions, not verified Puerto Rico requirements.
Foreign ownership & activity
Ask whether your nationality, ownership percentage and proposed business activity require investment approval, a local partner or a sector licence.
Directors & local presence
Confirm the required directors, shareholders, registered office, local representative and any residency or company-secretary rules.
Capital & incorporation costs
Obtain the current minimum capital, filing fees, notarisation costs, translations and annual renewal or service charges for the selected legal form.
Tax & ongoing compliance
Verify corporate tax, VAT or sales tax, withholding, beneficial-ownership reporting, accounting, audit and annual-return obligations.
Banking & immigration
Check bank onboarding and source-of-funds evidence separately. Company registration should not be treated as approval for banking, residence or work permission.
