These are some of the steps you need to follow:
Before starting the process of creating a company, you need to decide what type of company you want to create. The choice will depend on several factors, such as the number of partners you have, the responsibility they want to assume, the share capital they have, among others.
Once you’ve decided the type of company you want to create, you need to choose a name for it. It is important to check if this name is already registered and if it is possible to use it. To do this, you need to do an availability search in the Mercantile Registry.
The articles of association are a document that establishes the rules and regulations for the company. They must be drawn up in accordance with the law and must be approved by the founding members. It is important that the bylaws are well drafted and clear to avoid future problems.
The share capital is the sum that must be deposited in a bank account in the name of the newly created company. The amount of share capital will depend on the type of company that is created. Once the share capital has been deposited, a bank certificate must be obtained.
After completing the above steps, the incorporation procedures must be done at the Mercantile Registry. These include submitting the necessary documents (statutes, bank certificate, etc.), paying the corresponding taxes and obtaining a tax identification number.
Depending on the type of business you are setting up, additional licenses and permits may be required to operate. For example, if it is a food business, health permits are required. It is important to obtain all necessary licenses and permits before starting operations.
Finally, it is necessary to register the company with the Social Security to obtain the corresponding affiliation number. This will allow the company to hire employees and meet its tax and labor obligations.
