Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about opening and registering a company.
The main steps are: choose the type of company (SA, SRL, SAS or sole proprietorship), draft the bylaws, execute the notarial deed, register the company with the National Commerce Registry, register with DGI and BPS, and obtain any required permits. We handle the entire process.
Yes. With a Simplified Joint-Stock Company (SAS) you can incorporate 100% online through the government’s Empresa en el Día portal. For other types of company, we also handle most of the process digitally.
The cost depends on the type of company and the complexity of the structure. A sole proprietorship is the most affordable option, while an SA has higher notarial and registration costs. Contact us for a quote tailored to your case.
The main filings are: registration with the National Commerce Registry, registration with DGI (RUT tax ID), registration with BPS as a company and, depending on your activity, municipal and industry-specific permits. The process varies depending on the type of company you choose.
Uruguay is very open to foreign investment. You do not need to be a resident to incorporate a company. You need a valid identity document, must appoint a legal representative in Uruguay, and meet the same requirements as a local. We advise you throughout the process, including immigration procedures if you need them.
The SA is ideal for larger companies with many shareholders. The SRL works well for SMEs with few partners. The SAS is the newest and most agile option, designed for startups and entrepreneurs. The sole proprietorship is for a single person, with the simplest paperwork. Each differs in liability, minimum capital and requirements.
